Removing Seats Bolts
So after a friend of mine was playing with the automatic seats, my passenger side front seat twists instead of going back and forth when I push the slider thing and I read that it could be the "cap" fell off.
So I know that to take off the seats, there are 5 bolts, but how tight are they? I cant even budge mine. I tried using my impact driver and it still won't budge. I also tried putting PVC pipe on a ratchet, but that started to damage the bolt so I stopped. Any ideas how to get them out?

Wd40 and go out and buy a combination of breaker bars, from small to heavy, every diy'er should have them so you don't rely on a pipe. Best investment I made, helps me remove stubborn wheel lugs to any other bolt that is stuck. Good luck.
How strong is your impact gun? Anyway, I'd have to agree with durps and hlthlnk. Hex sockets (to reduce the chance of stripping) and a much more legitimate breaker bar. I would not trust PVC on holding the kind of force required from a breaker bar.
Just did this last night to make my speaker cover work with 10" JL sub, took 4 bolts off the back portion of the seat, 2 on the sides and 2 by the seat belts latches pushed up and done. ( max 5 minute job) Do not remove seat belt bolts, ( you won't need to) those are the tight ones, seat bolts aren't that tight!
Sorry man, on your front seats use a impact or short arm braker bar

Ok, i'll drop go get some breaker bars after class and I'll put some wd40. I'll have to check when I get back on my impact driver.
@Lexxium - yea, rear seats were pretty easy when I took them off, but these front ones.....jeez
