Seat removal

[SteveTusc]

I'm trying to remove my seats to get them re-trimmed. I'm having some trouble getting the nut off the front bolts. I've got them loose but now the head of the bolt is just spinning in the seat runner. Even with the seat right back I can't get to the top of the bolt to get a socket/spanner on it. Only other option I can think of is to get the dremel out and chop them off. They were pretty rusty anyway so would probably put new ones in when the seats are replaced.

Anyone got a better idea before I start grinding?

Have removed the seats a few times over the years and found the easiest thing is to wedge a flat bladed screwdriver between the edge of the seat runner and the bolt, you should find that that will hold the head enough to unscrew the nyloc nut.

Thanks for the tip, I'll give that a go.

That is the answer.
