Default 78 seat hinge covers

are those stupid acorn nut covers that hold the seat hinge covers threaded or do they just pop on?

The studs that they go onto on the seat are nut threaded, so the acorn type PAL nuts just push on. To remove them though, they come off easier by putting a socket on them and unscrewing them.

The acorn will just spin if you try and unscrew them by their self,
Unscrew the actual screw and the screw will pull the nut off for you,
they just fall off. 69Vett
