Hello everybody,

I was removing the drivers side seat from my 94 850. I have had the seat out about 10 months ago. I needed to remove it to replace the seat cover. There are four bolts to remove and then you pull the seat. simple. been there, done that.

so i go to pull the rear bolt (the one closest to the center console.) and it is fighting me to come out. I have no idea why because I didn't strip it when I put it back in. So then all of the sudden it releases. Now it looks like the nut that was probably welded to the body broke loose. So the bolt is just helplesslly spinning in the whole with a nut which can't be tightened or untightened on it.

Is there any way to access the area so that I can get a wrench on the nut. I couldn't see anythign from below the car.

help,
jon
