Cool Front Seat Removal

I had a amp put under my passenger seat that has been blown. I was wondering how I could remove the seat myself so I could replace the amp? Basically, what type of tools do I need to remove the seat?

Very simple. You need a T55 Torx socket and if yours is like my 01 Screw, also a T47 for the seat belt, and seat bolt on rear drivers seat. If you pull them all the way out, you need to disconnect the seatbelt alarm. I installed my amps by just propping the seat up. Have Fun!

Thanks. I'll try not to remove the seat but I don't think I will be very successful at getting to the screws holding the amp down unless I get the seat out of the way. I'll see -Thanks

I've had my seats out a couple times. Very easy.

Thanks to all....I was able to replace the amp with out removing the seat. I moved the seat forward as far as it would go and removed the back screws from the amp. They were the only thing holding the amp in.

T55 bit

I tried a T55 bit and it seems very loose. Is this the correct size? I don't know how much torque this fastners require, but I don't want to strip one out. When I checked I only found T50,T55,T60 increments so could experiment with a size in between T55 and T60. Any comments?

I'm removing seats from my 2001 F150 to clean real good underneath. Last bolt on driver's seat won't budge. Any ideas???

Have you tried using an impact gun?

That is what I use to get truck bed bolts and seat bolts out.
