Default Remove seat track issue!

So I'm trying to remove the power seat track from the passenger side of my 88. I removed the 2 bolts on the back of the track but I can't see the front bolts because the track is stuck all the way to the front. How can I get the track out at this point? Thanks

Sounds to me like your going to have to use an open end wrench and turn each nut an eighth of a turn until you can spin them off w your fingers. It wont be easy and it certainly wont be fun.

Ok thanks for the info but which nuts are you referring to? The 2 remaining nuts?

Yep.

If I understood your post there should be one on the front of the left side track and one on the front of the right side track, as you have removed them in the rear.

Sound like the seat bottom is still in on my 94 you reach under the front and flip the wire clip and lift the seat bottom out.

There are 2 plastic covers over the front 2 seat bolts that must be removed, by pulling the plastic pins out, before you can access the front 2 nuts.
