Northwind 1" seat help

[redtanrt10]

If you've done the install on a 1" Northwind seat kit yourself,

Did you have trouble or any advise on how to get the #45 Torx bolt off, the bolt that holds the seat belt conector? I'm using a 10" Torx screwdriver and the SOB isn't moving. Had two big friends try also? Not sure if I just need a power tool or if I'm missing something. thanks! Mike

A "screwdriver" type tool will not cut it. I use a 1/2" drive bit adapter and a 1/2" drive ratchet. They have a Loctite patch on them and first time out is a *****!

Yep - Ratchet would be the way to go. I don't remember having an issue with removing bolts when I did mine.

Biggest problem I had was getting the seat out, then back in, to my Coupe!

Dave/Hamrhead, thanks for the imput, I'll get go your route and buy the bit. Probably should have done that when I installed the teamtech's. I'm getting better with the coupe seat removal after, mamba seats, then 6 points, now this. At least the new seat tracks are 5 lbs less, and, the 1" lower makes it easier to clear the sills. Vert guys don't know how easy they have it. thanks again!! Mike
