front seat not removing
« on: 27 March 2011, 13:24 »
im trying to remove my front seats. i have searched through this site and found the how to remove front seats guide. but for some unknown reason my seats dont want to play ball.
ive removed the screw at the back on the runner, and removed bolts at the front under the seat but they wont slide right back its like something is stopping them, any ideas on what im doing wrong??

I had a similar problem taking some out at the breakers recently..... 
Where the two nuts fit onto the studs at the front, the studs were rocking as the seat was pushed back so going sideways in the bracket holes and getting stuck.  I think we stopped pushing the seat back quite so vigorously and pushed the studs through from the front while they were lined up properly.  Comprende?   :undecided:

In between the two bolts on the front mount there is a plastic compression clip/nipple thing.  Squeeze the top together with some grips enough to push it through the hole and the seat will then move back.
