seat removal.

There are four bolts holding the seats in correct? I think I see the front two. Can anyone give me some easy removal tips? I did a search and couldnt find a simple answer.

Yes there are four bolts.

From what I remember there isnt to much you have to do.

Just unbolt the seats and pull them out.

If you have electric seats, im not sure but I think there is some stuff you have to disconnect.

You also might have to remove the seat belt guide from the seats.

Re: seat removal.

Undo the lower screw on the seatbelt guide and pull the belt out of the guide.

Put the seat all the way to the back using the lever (not the reclining lever, the one under the front of the seat). Undo front trim and 2 nuts.

Put the seal all the way forward and undo the rear trims and 2 rear nuts. If necessary (power seats), unplug wire harness and lift seat out of car.

Re: seat removal.

They can be a pita to remove if there is rust on the bolts. Just a heads up.

Re: seat removal.

I swapped the seats in my camaro and on the passenger's side I had to take the tracks out with the seat. In hind sight it would have been easier to do the drivers that way also.

you'll also need metric sockets. I believe it's a 13. Some penetrant applied first will help but spray lightly so as not to stain the carpet. The rear seat bottoms are held in by a single nut in the front middle.

If you can get to them, try spraying penetrant from the underside too as the bolts go all the way through the body and can sometimes be accessed from underneath.
