Hey im trying to remove my stock seats from my 88 iroc and im down to the last bolt and i cant get my tool into the area to get it out. I got the two front bolts and the one closest to the middle console, but the closest to the door im having trouble with. Any ideas on how to get a better angle on it?

 

Incase you havent already- put the seat all the way foward. I used a ratcheting wrench and it came off in a jiffy.

 

One of my ratchets did'nt work. Used a Craftsman ratchet that was slimmer and a short socket, just enough room to get it off...

 

I use a good old fashion hand wrench..............you kids and your technology

 

i have to agree with aredross with the wrench... damn im getting old

 

Open end 14mm wrench. This makes 3 replies with the same answer.

 

Hey i tried an open end wrench, couldnt reach it lol. Are your seats powerd, cause mine are. Idk , ill have to play with it more today.

 

It's easy, you just need a few tools, mainly a torch, 220v welder, 1000lb impact gun, and a 25lb sledge hammer. Your goal is to destroy the rest of the car around the seat so it pops right out.

Really though, move the seat all the way foward and a ratchet should go right in there, I've never had a problem. The 14mm wrench should go too (I used a box end though), just play with it for a little but.

 

On my power seats the box end or ratcheting wrench would not work because of the seat rails. I had to attack it from above. Unless someone had the seat out before you and did something funky with the bolt, the ratchet and 14 mm socket will work. Like I posted before, not all ratchets are the same, the Craftsman I used was WAY slimmer that the first one and let me get in there.

 

i used my gear wrench because its slimmer than ratchets but still has the ratchiting function,take a trip over to az and rent one and that bolt will come right out
