Interior Removal Questions....

I'm about to remove my front and back seats to have them recovered. Is there anything I should know before I do this? Do you guys have any tips or tricks??

Thanks!

There really are no tricks to it. A 13mm socket, extension, and a phillips head are about all you need.

4 bolts on each front seat holding them in place, two screws holding the seat belt retainer on the head rest, one bolt each under the front of the lower rear seats and one bolt each side for the upper rear seat (givin it's not a split)

You have to take out the lower seats before you can get to the bolts for the back.

Very easy. No tricks involved.

You will also need a torx bit to remove the rear seatbelts bracket from the rear seats. I dont remember the size offhand, sorry. Its pretty EZ to remove the seats, all the freakin panels on the other hand...

Doh, forgot about that set of bolts. It's been so long since I've had seat belts in the rear that I completely forgot there was a belt guide on there.

T-50, I used a t-45 at first and almost rounded one out.

Dont' forget a phillips to get the trim that covers the seat bolts off and to free the seat from the seatbelt.
