removing driver seat.... where is 4th bolt?

I cant find the 4th bolt holding the seat down. I removed three of the bolts but there must be one more on the back left side holding the seat down still but i dont see it. Any help?? The seat is stuck all the way back so that may be hiding it. 2007 f150

I found the 4th bolt but unfortunately its IMPOSSIBLE for me to get to being that my seat is stuck all the way back. Why would ford put that 4th bolt hidden under the track like that and the other 3 be out in the open and easy to get to? WTF do i do now? I need to take out my power seat motor but how can i do that now?

The seat is held to the track with 4 10 or 11 mm bolts, maybe you can get to those instead.

There is about 6 i think. But they are near impossible to get to. If i did then chances are i would only get 3 back on. Is there a way to get the motor off without taking the entire seat out? I can see the motor right there at the front of the seat. Possible to just get the motor out?

Since you've said the seat sometimes moves forward, I wonder if it might move if you sort of "jiggled" it back and forth while your wife held the switch to the "move forward" position. I still think there's something binding in the mechanism and that's what's causing the problem. Jiggling might get it past the sticking point.

I tried this and i beat on it with a hammer. It never even budged. It will move in every direction just fine now except forward. How do you get the motor out from under the seat? Its a long spring type deal holding it together. There is no way to unbolt it from under there is it?

Having never tried to take one of these seats out, I'm afraid I'm no help at all. I've done it on other trucks and even on a car, but not the 150. Sorry! I guess raising the seat to its highest position gives no access to the last bolt either, right?

My guess is, it will be very difficult to get the motor out without removing the seat.

well your right that it is near impossible! Im really stumped on what to do now. I hear you have to buy the whole set of 3 motors and tracks and all. I wish somebody on here has done this before.
