Default Removing the seats from a 92 question

Is it as easy as removing 4 bolts? 2 in front and 2 in back...

Yep, and a wire connector on the underside. Move the seat all the way forward, remove the back nuts, move the seat back, remove the front nuts, tip the seat up, unplug the connector, and pull the seat out. :cheers:

Holy crap those bolts are tight!!! they appear to be 1/2" but they are way to tight to losen with a wrench and the studs are sticking out way to high to get a rachet on....

Any suggestions and why are they so friggin tight? I cut my finger good trying. :mad

Hmm...they shouldn't be that tight. What Scorp said, a Deep socket will help.

Good luck.

I used a deep well socket and a LONG (18") extension.

Warning - there is another connector that is kinda buried under the seat... it is a 2 wire connector. I don't know exactly what it powers... but is does something...

Oh, I found about 1.50 in change and a token from the Garden State Parkway.

Basically just to clean and such. The last few days have been nutty I have taken the dash off and taken care of various squeeks and rattles with velcro, Changed both headlights(sylvania cool blue) and taken both seats out.
Believe me that is a HUGE step for me, Up till i got this car i never even changed oil before :bb I have never been much of a auto repair person but I am slowly becoming more confident ;)

My '93 has sport seats and there are two different wire connectors under there.
I found close to $4 and a bunch of bank deposit slips, I guess one of the previous owners owned a gas station going by teh name on the slip.

Kevin,
I took my whole interior out when I installed my stereo system last year...there was one bolt on the passengers seat that I had to use a ratcheting wrench (Gearwrench) to get the seat out...
