AnswerHi Neil,
The procedure is basically to move the seat full rearward, then remove the two bolta that attach the track to the floor at the front. Then slide the seat forward and remove thet two bolts that attach the seat at the rear. The tilt seat forward and remove connector to seat belt retractor then remove the seat.
The install is tricky:
It is important that the following steps be done correctly to insure that the seat track are properly "timed" prior to securing the seats to the vehicle.
Adjust seat back to vertical position using the recliner handle
Do not grab either recliner handle or towel bar when handling seat. The seat tracks are loaded and will release!
Turn seat on its side with the bottom of seat facing so that the seat tracks can be seen.
Securely grasp the spring loaded track and while lifting the towel bar, allow the seat TRACK to move to the full rearward position. The seat track is in the full rearward position if the first and last latch pins are engaged into the seat track.
Position the other seat track in the full rear position. The first and last latch pins should also be engaged.
Return seat to upright position
Position seat in vehicle
Tilt seat forward and connect wire connector to seat belt retractor
Push downward on seat cushion to ensure that the front mounting brackets are fully seated on the floor pan crossmember.
Install and tighten rear outboard bolt holding seat to sill pylon
Install and tighten rear inboard bolt holding seat to floor pan
Move SEAT to full rearward position. Push slightly on seat to ensure that the adjuster latches are engaged on both seat tracks
Install and tighten front inboard bolt holding seat to floor pan crossmember
Install and tighten front outboard bolt holding seat to floor pan crossmember.
Note: Tighten all seat bolts to 45 foot-pounds
