OK, Thanks for all the advice. I finally got it off and did not have to drill it out. But I wish I would have done what I did from the get go and I would not have A; stripped the hex bold B; would not have had to hack saw a flat head notch in the head of the bolt.


As you can see from above I did hack a slot into the bolt but I still could not get the torque I needed to remove the bolt. But what i did do and wish I would have from the get go is. And I would recommend that anyone having this issue do first before they strip the bolt.

1. Remove side seat bolts.
2. Remove the seat bracket bolts. And remove the bracket.  Yes I know it is a pain in the butt because you can only turn the bolt about an 1/8 of a rotation at a time.
3. Lift the seat out enough so that you can move it back and forth. Doing so will loosen the bolt enough to be easily removed.

If I would have done this from the start I would not have stripped the bolt nor would I have had to cut the bolt.

Thanks again

By moving the seat around and the bolt being the center point. It may have
A: Broke up any rust or crud that was keeping the bolt so tight.
B: May have turned the bolt back and forth thus loosening it up.


When I say I moved the seat back and forth I do not mean a little wiggle. I mean a good 10 to 12 inches at least. To the point that you could see most of the wiring underneath the seat. It was well out passed the frame on either side as I moved it back and forth.
