Quick question for 1st gen guys

I'm trying to remove my passenger seat, I've got all the bolts out except the rear drivers side one:



Does anyone know how to remove this one? theres not enough room to use a socket, the angle is too weird to get at it with wrench, and a pair of needlenose pliers arent doing the trick..

So what are your guy's methods for removing this one??

Thanks

slide the seat forward... sockets work good. i usually take that one out first...mainly cuz it wont move without all the bolts in..

i was replacing my seats and had the same problem. The seat was stuck and would not slide forward. I ended up taking a sawzall from underneath of it. It was not long after that I had complete access to it.

soak your seat track in "viner schlider" . it is not moving all the way .. and you'll need to free it up to remove that bolt ..

Hey if those dont work the wire underneath that connects the slider adjustment might be missing. Then youll have to hold it while you move the seat. I had same problem. Depends on what side of the seat it is. Just a thought!

This is most likely the problem
