can any one tell me how to remove my front passenger seat because there are two nuts in the front that i have taken off and there is a bolt in the back of the seat on the floor that will not move at all. im probably trying to do it the hard way

Should be two bolts front and two rear. I had the same thing the first time I took mine out, the fronts came out easy but the rears were a PITA. Try getting under the car and hit the bolts with some WD40/PB Blaster/etc, and have the seat up as far as it will go and use a breaker bar with the longest extension you can fit in there.

I just used an impact on mine when i took them out to put my racing seats in. I just moved the seat all the way forward like VeeSicks said and they came out with ease.

havnt tried to get under the car i just took a ratchet of decent size and torqued as hard as i freakin could and the lil guy just would not come out. thanks for the advise and ill probably stick with just using the breaker bar because i dont have easy access to pneumatic tools. thanks for the advise

The first time I tried to take seat bolts out of an older car I snapped the heads straight of too. I guess they rust on the bottom side of the floor and if you don't hit it with rust remover first the rust wins.

Good luck with the easy-out!
