Passenger bucket seat broken bolts Options

[advman89]

I had to remove the lower bucket seat on the passenger side to chance the seat belts, to take a look for a possible short(which there was no electrics under there) and as soon as I put a socket on the rear four, they snapped right off. So, now I'm left with figuring out how to secure the seats.

And while I'm here, the pan itself feels ok, but there seems to be some sort of insulation or sound proofing that's cracked. How does that compare to the rest of cars out there?

Thoughts?

when removing fasteners for the first time keep them penetrant wet for days prior to the work. Light tapping can help break the rust bond. Use a torque wrench set pretty low to try to loosen the fastener. Leaning in to it that last little bit with a wrench or socket usually results in failure. Be patient. The nut will be there tomorrow. What you will spend on dry ice will pay for a Rigid vibratory tool that comes with blades from HD. You can work at your own pace and will still have the tool tomorrow.
