Seat removal.

Hi guys. What is the best way to remove seats from a 2b Superspec

Interesting, on mine none of them were welded but 7 out of the 8 bolt heads were crimped into the runners so they wouldn't turn.   So I could easily undo the nuts from underneath and remove the passenger seat.   On the drivers rear inboard the bolt just kept turning.   However, with 3 of the 4 bolts removed I got my wife to push the seat sideways enough to jam the bolt head so I could remove the nut.

My seat bolts weren’t welded into the runners either. When I replaced the carpet on my Superspec I managed to undo the bolts with a combination of ring spanners and 1/4” drive thin walled sockets, while positioning the seats forwards and backwards to get at them. 
 

When I put the seats back in I used half height nuts to lock the bolts into the runners before I put the seats back in the car. Much easier to do the nuts up underneath single handed then.

Well the drivers side was not too bad but the passenger's side I gave up and got the grinder out. On a positive they're both out now
