ya i took my passenger seat out and they all came out no problem besides the one closest to the door.. but i used some liquid wrench or somin of the nature to losen bolts... then i used the 17 i think it is.. but kept sripping it.. so then i took a cuttin tool and cut the bolt head in half and usd the gaotr grip came right out.... but just try using some liquid wrench and the gator grip, people say that the gaotr grip is junk it has worked wonders for me

spray with wd-40. loosens rust and bolts. One of the greatest tools invented. nest to duct tape of course.

mine were rusted right to the brackets so i just used CLR and vice grips.You have to clamp right in really hard. had to buy new bolts tho, and they were damn expensive so try to salvage yours unless u want to spend 15+ dollars on new bolts.

Just get a torque wrench and get them off...will come off with ease (the bar is 3x longer then a regular ratchet). Plus you can actually get the correct bolt tension when you replace them instead of just making it as tight as possible...
