HELP! (removing seat tracks)
Okay, so I'm having a major problem trying to get the seat tracks out of my 72 coupe. The front two bolts on both the passenger and driver's side come off no problem, but on both sides the back two heads of the bolts are completely rounded off/rusted. How can I possibly get these out?

Craftsman makes those rounded head bolt extractors.
That may be your easiest bet.
Other options in order of preference:
Drill out bolt (from bottom)
Grind off bolt head (not carpet friendly)
Cutting torch (even less carpet friendly)
Good Luck

I may have to try that Craftsman set...but the head looks almost completely round - no hex pattern is really visible! I think what I'm going to do is cut a small slot in the head with my Dremel and take a flathead screwdriver to it...
Thanks for the advice guys!
