Nice. How difficult were the bolts when you removed your front 2 seats? Each seat's front 2 bolts removed easy, but the rear 2 bolts would not budge, and I stopped for fear of breaking them. Are they Loc-Tite from the faxtory?

 

They all broke as a matter of fact I would say about 85% of the bolts I have removed from mine broke no matter what I used...heat, kroiloil, or ATF/acetone

 

I on the other hand had no issues when I first removed my front seats other than one that snapped. Unless there is some major rusting going on, the larger of the 2 rears should free up but certainly shouldn't break on you. Just spray them up and leave them for a bit.

 

I snapped one of the rear bolts on both of my front seats. I'll drill it out eventually...

 

if the bolts break no big deal, drill them out and replace them. bondo as stated is a temporary fix. if ya do it right you'll never have to deal with it again.

 

That area should be fine but these guys are pretty cheap and will reinforce that area if you are so inclined:

Fix it right the first time and you will never be worrying about it for the rest of your time owning it. Those spots of rust would not be a deal breaker for me.

As far as bolts being stuck, go look for WD-40 RUST PENETRANT, not the regular. That stuff works better than original wd40 on really rusted stuff. Soak it a couple times a day for like a week, and it should come loose.

 

For the front seats in a 95, if it's the same as my 95 then it's just a smaller bolt and a big stud with a nut on it.

I snapped the smaller bolt on both sides. It was rusted too badly to have possibly come out. I ended up drilling through, but in hindsight I would suggest drilling and tapping. There's a big **** of metal around the bolt and it was a pain and a half to go all the way through. Instead, I SHOULD have drilled and tapped, there's plenty of metal there and the "main" fastening is that big stud.

For the big stud, I truly expected to break it, but I just used some PB Blaster on it and it freed up.
