and heated the cagednut then took air gun blew any debris from around the treads next

length of pipe on end for leverage turned

broke 2 small spot welds loose that hold the
cage around the nut then pulled bent up cage out of inside seatmount with pliers went to
toolbox ask myself what can I hold that darn
rectangle shapped nut with looked down there
was this old 6" pipe wrench I went back to car and turned the nut so the small end was
to the front/rear of car slipped the 6" pipe
wrench into the center slot of seat mount wrench lays completly inside seatmount opened fully just fit over end of nutput wrench/pipe on bolt had to push with my feet
