Seat trouble

xThermoNucleaRx · 08-13-2012, 07:25 PM

Whadya know, the last power seat bolt that needs to come out stripped out.

The bolt is located on the front right side and the position the seat is in is preventing me from using my special socket set to extract that bolt.

Also, my dash is out, my engine with the harness is out, and my battery is removed. Is there a way to manually adjust the power seat or at least force it backwards enough to get to it with a socket wrench (I don't mind breaking the seat as I plan to get a new set of seat here soon)? Or will I need to hook some electrical back up to move it?
Or any ideas to get it out?

Thanks for any advice!

Never mind. Found through the TEWD that power still ran to the seat and was able to make clearance for the stripped bolt removal tool.

Requesting thread close please.

For future reference you may disconnect the harness at the back, rear and supply red wire with blue stripe with 12v while grounding the blue wire with the black stripe to move the seat forward. To move it back, reverse the polarity.
