Just found a rear seat for my 88' K5 but before I show up I was wondering if anyone knows what tools I need to remove the two bolts and all the seatbelts? Thank you in advance.

Rear seat bolts
- Thread starter 88Fernie
- Start date
Seat belt bolts often suck to remove--they are usually #50 Torx
head bolts or have thin hex heads that twist off easy..they put some killer locktite on them usually too..
.I've had the nut welded in the floor twist out with the floor still attached often when I'd try removing them at the junkyard..
We often resorted to using a pipe wrench or vise grips on them after snapping off multiple Torx bits or rounding off the thin hex head..
Heat is a big help,but most junkyards wont allow any propane torches past the gate..

I just pulled the rear belts from my '90 K5. T50 torx but they were fused solid. Impossible to remove with a 2' breaker bar. Drilled the heads off.
Last I removed from the junkyard had the be cut out with a chisel using a hammer. Broke 3 T50's trying to get them and it was my last resort.

Thanks everyone. Got them all off with some pb blaster, a t50 and a 3/4 socket. No problems getting them off at all to my surprise!
Someone likely had the seat out before then !..you were lucky..
