1981 Drivers seat removal
Since summer seems to have passed us by for the next few days, Ive put together a list of jobs I want to complete on the car.
One of them is to get the drivers seat hooked up and get it working as it should, its electric.
I did notice, the cable to connect it up is just hanging out of the center console so first I want to remove the seat, clean it up a little and check the motors.
May be a dumb question, but is there an easy way to remove the drivers seat?

The problem being as the seat is adjusted electrically, I cant adjust it as its not connected.
Just got home and checked my AIM and it looks like I simply undo the 4 nuts from under the car. Does that sound about right?

On my 82, there are 4 nuts on the bottom underneath the car. Remove them and the seat comes right out. No need to move it at all. The studs are fixed to the seat tracks and poke down through the floor.

At last an easy job on the old girl. 5 minutes with a wrench and the seat was out. Cleaned up the electrical connections and tested it....It works! 
Nice to have a fully adjustable seat! Thanks for all the replies.
