Tools For Removing Seats??

[tliss]

Anybody have the tools necessary to remove the seats from the Lightning that I might borrow some time in the next month? I've got my JL subs and amp in transit and wan to get them installed, but I figure the best way for me to mount the amp under the middle seat will be to pull the seats out.

It looks like all I need is a wrench with the proper size * fitting, but I have not investigated enough to know if this is all I need. Anyway, thanks in advance.

I usually give it a quick look for clearance and routing. Then I pull the seats, and sill trim and go to pulling cable, wire, and mounting. This is how it should look..:eek2:

I'm putting in 2 JL subs in a Thunderform box plus a 250/1 JL monoblock amp. Since I have the video system, all of the space under the passenger seat is taken, and I don't thin it'll be a good idea to mount the amp under the driver's seat due to the current for the power. The only real good place will be the hump in the middle, as long as I have clearance. I'll also need to pull up the carpet to run the power cable, but the remote and RCA cables will not need to go to the head unit, so it'll be a relatively easy install.

Anyway, Doug, I'll call you. Not sure when I'm going to do this, as my goodies haven't made it here yet, but it'll be in the next few weeks.

I spied it earlier in the garage and threw it in the back of the truck. Now you just need to remind me to hand it to you

Tom,
I too have a T-55, and for about the price of gas to get to my house, $3.00 you could too. You're welcome to borrow any time.

Thanks guys. I f the tool is that inexpensive I may just venture out and buy one myself. Can anyone post a picture of what I'm looking for? I figure I could probably get this at Sears or Home Depot, no?

Thanks,

I got a set of 7 from Harbor Freight for ~$20, hence the $3 comment. Sears had them for about $7 each, and Pep Boys for about the same.
