Removing Seats...help!

I cannot find anything when I search for it...
My bolts on my front seats are super rusty and I cannot seem to get them off. Any advice other then flamming them off?

From: Hampden Maine
Car: 1992 Firebird
Engine: Stealth Rammed 412 with TC78 Turbo
Transmission: '93 T-56
Axle/Gears: 3.27 9 bolt posi with PBR discs
Mine were pretty rusty too and what I ended up doing was unbolting the seats from the tracks and then using an impact driver to remove the nuts from the studs holding the tracks down. There are 4 bolts going up through the tracks into the bottom of the seats which can be removed fairly easily. Once you take those out you've got a straight shot to smack an impact driver and that should loosen them up. Just take your time and be careful to not shear off the studs because that would be a PITA. Also soak the threads with PB Blaster or some equivalent penetrating oil for a few days before going at it. Good luck!!
