i was at advanced auto to day looking at the universal 5-point apc seats there like $150 per seat i was looking down the list and the only s-10 listed was a 98-03 how much mods would have to be done for the seats to work in my 94?

[XxInFaxX]

mainly bracket work. not too bad, but can be a pain in the ass!

honestly the worst part i had/am still having in my 98 is the bolt that holds the seat belt/seat to the floor its like a 1/2 wide hardend steel bolt that goes thorugh the floor and it has a torque head so you basically just have to drill the bastard out..so yea ive only got one seat in

why would youhave to drill it out? just go to sears and get a set of torx bits, they only cost about 30 bux on a bad day.

my torx set was $45 from sears. just a FYI :)

[chevysdime98]

you know how hard it is to back those bolts out...have you tried? i used a 2 foot breaker bar n my hands were gonna bleed before those broke free my buddy had the same problem...i bought the torx n everything, wasted my money

[XxInFaxX]

they are a pain in the ass to get out, but with the breaker bar they shouldnt be that bad. just make sure you are able to get some leverage on them.

which with a regular cad wast happenin for me unless the seats were removed....which you cant remove them without that bolt haha

as retarded as this will sound, have your buddy hold the ratchet upright so it doesnt fly off the torx, try and position yourself somehow to where you can use the bottom of your foot to push on it. it sounds weird, but it will give a lot easier then wrenching on it with your hands! or just beat the **** outta it!

[chevysdime98]

yea i was slamin the breaker bar with a hammer to try to break it loose a lil, didnt happen i ripped the lil fingers right of the the torx hole on the bolt so i drilled the passenger side, this was about 3 months ago n i still havent done the drivers cuz it sucked so much

[2001baggeds10]

I used a 2 foot breaker bar and used a short extension on my ratchet with the torx and they broke loose just fine, another thing you can do is get up underneath and spray some lube on the end of the bolt and do the same on top just not as much and it should come out just fine.

On top of the breaker bar, use a 4 foot long pipe. It will come right off

[chevysdime98]

hahah thats 6 feet i cant put much more than 1 foot in the cab of my truck

:bulb_125: HEAT the damn thing!!! A little common sense man:rolleyes:. I did on my 1st gen's seat belt holder bolts after the torx tools snapped. :DI'm a persistent bastard .... they came out & i returned broken bits for a refund:cool:
