I have made one foray into the lifting of the driver's seat and so far have failed to get it up and over on its side. This car is my current driver so I had to put it back together and look at another day.

What I am trying to do is to replace the seat belt receptacle. The part that comes up from the inside between the seat and the transmission cover.

I saw a Robert DIY video on seat removal on the 960 as a start point. I was able to undo the four bolts that hold the seat down but I could not manage to turn the seat onto its side so that I could get to work untangling the wires that run under the seat to the seat belt receptacle.

I have been able to move the seat back and forth using the switches when the battery is connected so I have total access to the front and rear bolts. I also have the seat in the fully up position. I disconnect the battery whenever possible--some paranoia about the air bags.

There is something else holding the seat in place and I have not yet been able to find what it is. Has anybody else gone through this procedure?
