Mustang seats

[Mustang4119]

Is it really hard to take out the driver's seat in a 01 gt? I dont want to be in this hassle and not be able to get it back in, since it has electrical things underneath. I cant fit under the dash to install something and the seat doesnt go back all the way enough. How would I take out the drivers seat?

Takes about 5 minutes to remove one seat, reinstall is no problem.

Ummm so how do you take them out? Where do I look, I want to tackle the job. What size lug nuts and so on? Where?

2 nut front and 2 in the back. Adjust the seat forward to get to the rears, then back to get the fronts. Let the seat lean back and unplug it. I think it may be like 12 or 14mm.

Is it hard to put the seat back in I dont want to take it out and cant get it back in. Is it hard to get to all the bolts?

I just replaced my stockers with Corbeaus 2 days ago, and removing your seat is easy squeezy. Move the seat all the way back and remove the 2 nuts under the front end of the seat with a socket. then move the seat all the way forward, and you will see two plastic shields covering the end of your seat tracks. remove the plastic retaining pin, and remove the shield. Now you will see a bolt head. Using a socket wrench, undo the two bolts....if they aren't coming out, you will need to attach another wrench on the underside of the car to hold the nut. Once all four nuts/bolts are removed lean the seat backwards and unplug the electrical connector. remove seat.
When you put it back in put the front two in first and leave the nuts loose, now line up the rear two hole, and insert the bolts, reach underneath and thread on the nuts on the undercarriage, wammo presto....takes about 10 minutes.

i cant get the rear 2 off, they are rotted on there. its making me so mad. I dont have enough torque to get them off. I wish i had a impact wrench.

 

[nwapache]

huh? why would they be "rotted"? did you find the nuts underneath the car and use a second wrench to hold them?
If they are rusted....you'll need some liquid wrench

I took off the plastic shields and I see the bolts. 1 of them is rotted and wont turn. Why would I need a second wrench if I didnt even get them to move. I dont have enough torque to move them. Wd40 does nothing.

 

[nwapache]

okay...the rear bolts go through the floor pan to the undercarriage.....on the undercarriage side are two corresponding nuts. go underneath the car and try to break the nut loose from down there. Make sure you spray a lot of wd on the underside too. PS-liquid wrench or equivalent are better than wd40...for future reference
