    I need help! I am trying to remove the front bench seat, do I need a special tool? also trying to remove the panels on the door threshold that the seat belts move into. Any help or advice would be appreciated

    There are four bolts that hold down the bench seat frame to the floor. Lay on your back and slide under the car, they are in the area of the bench seat frame corners.

    I have a torques bit for 3/8 drive ratchet that I used on mine. Screw driver may not give you enough torque to get the bolt loose.

    Use a T-50 bit for the seat belt bolts. And don't buy a cheap one. Cheap ones shatter like glass on these rusty old bolts. Buy the best, preferably one with a lifetime breakage warranty, you will need it. :dancing:
