There is nothing to it. Mine were a Pain in the butt cause I also replaced the carpet at the same time. Taking the seatbelts off sucks, alot! Sorry, I dont remember the wrench size.

The swap is so easy, my wife did the seat swap while I did the engine swap, and she rarely helps me in the garage. (Hell, I was impressed.)

Yeah, I think it was a 13mm. Or maybe 14? It is really easy. You may need a phillips screwdriver, because there are supposed to be these black plastic covers that go over the bolts. And something that makes the job really easy is one of those gear wrenches. But if you're trying to swap the seatbelts also, then things get a little more complicated, meaning it may take more than 5 minutes. And you may not want to have your wife do it. You know how girls are with that sort of stuff. hehe, Shannon, you know I'm just teasin'.

You're right. People have become too dependant on this board. It would take 30 seconds worth of inspection to find out that removing seats is a no-brainer. You wouldn't believe how many emails I get from people asking me for box dimensions for the subwoofer boxes. I got them with a tape measure, just like they could do.
