I have a '91 s-10 blazer that is used as a second vehicle for 'dirty' errands and hunting. Nonetheless, I am compeled to shampoo the interior come spring and feel as though removing the front seats would allow me better access and a more thorough product. For those that have every done so, is it worth the effort? How difficult is it to remove the seats?
Removing seats
- Thread starter gusman
- Start date
I've got a '94 S10 P/U that I bought last Feb. It was owned by an older gentleman who appeared to have never cleaned out the inside, since new. 
The first thing I did was pull out the seats, which was a piece of cake. The mounting bolts did have some plastic caps over the ends that I broke when removing them. I didn't bother to get any replacements. I guess I could have taken the time to remove them without breaking them, but I didn't care. Anyway it's no big deal and really made it easier to clean the carpet.

Gusman:
I've pulled the front seats on a couple of cars with bucket seats. There are usually 4 bolts and the possibility of a 5th for the seat belt stalk - if it's connected directly to the seat you can leave it. Make sure that you disconnect the electricals - the seatbelt warning system, possible heated seat, and headrest speakers if so equiped. There is usually a plastic connector under the seat that can be pulled apart like a plug. Then slide the seat all the way back and undo the front bolts from the floor. Then slide the seat all the way forward and undo the rear 2 bolts. Then carefully tip the seat out of the door and remove. Should be a one man job. When putting them back I usually use some locktight and then torque them to spec.

You won't find me touching my seat in my jeep! I'm afraid I'll do something wrong. I can see it now...I'm cruising down 95, I hit a bump in the road, and there you'll see a 285 pound man airborne through the windshield across the Ben Franklin bridge news at six!
