ABC.71CHEVELLE Jul 19th, 01, 2:43 PM Man those were some tuff bolts to get out. Did anyone else have the same trouble? (The rachet slipped off the bolt and I cut my finger on the rusted seat plug. I went and got a tetnis shot. lol) Finnished with a breaker bar and WD Don_Lightfoot Jul 19th, 01, 3:27 PM Yeah I hear ya. I think part of the problem is (if I recall) the bolt heads are very thin and it's easy for the socket to slip off. ------------------ ACES #4241, TC #947 69 SS Sedan (http://www.angelfire.com/rock/69ss) Brimaster Jul 19th, 01, 3:28 PM They are really a pain if the cat is from the northern states. At least Chevy uses a normal bolt head. I use a impact (with WD40 or heat sometimes)to save my knuckles. Try getting a Buick's seat belt bolts off without hurting your self. They use a star shaped allen head style. Really stupid design from my view. ABC.71CHEVELLE Jul 19th, 01, 7:01 PM Your right the bolt heads are thin. I had my foot on the socket using two hands just to turn it. rocks66ss Jul 20th, 01, 10:27 AM One of the reasons they are so hard to get out are.... did you happen to notice after you got them out that they have a thread sealer on them, very much like a plastic loctite, I feel your pain, no thats my pain, I really busted my knuckles getting mine out too, had to laugh, I think everyone who has removed these has hurt themselfs, I can see everyone in the back of there car, with a rag wrapped around there hand, to stop the bleeding, trying to turn the ratchet with there foot.
