I have some del sol seats im trying to put into my 91 CRX.

I already searched ( i know, i know) and read all kinds of stuff and it seemed to me the easiest way was to switch the seat pans, so you can keep the original sliders and everything bolts down to the car.

Everything seemed like it was going ok, but then on the Del sol passenger seat I have a bolt that WILL not come out. It is a gold bolt holding the sliders to the reclining thing on the right rear of the del sol passenger seat. It is threaded into the metal as opposed to having a nut on the other side. The del sol seat pan and bottom are off, with only the back of the seat and the sliders connected to the reclining thing still there.

Anyway i stripped three cheap sockets on it already, the bolt head seems fine but even with a quality socket it wont come out.

Its frustrating me beyond belief, anybody got any suggestions? Is this bolt not supposed to come out? Can I work around it? Penetrating oil?

Thanks for any help, and ill try to explain better if my frustrated typing comes off confusing, again thanks

 

ANybody got any ideas?

 

ive done this swap but reading what you wrote im having a hard time understanding what bolt your talking about


can you get a pic of the bolt your talking about?

 

On the outside of the del sol passenger seat, right hand side if sitting in the seat, there are three bolts holding the rail to the seat. You can see the head of the bolts of the seat is upside down.

The two bolts most forward on the seat have nuts holding the rails to the seat, the bolt most rearward is threaded into apparently both of the metal pieces.

Ill try and get pics soon, thanks for the reply
