Hello all, I have a 1982 Toyota Supra I’m taking the seats out of and on the driver side the front right seat bolt is Rust Welded and will not budge a milimeter. I tried icing it, heating it up, I banged it a hundred time in the center with a punch, I hit it with a hammer while the sockets on, I hit at the edges of the washer, nothing moved a single bit with the ratched. I used a breaker bar with extension l, I used wd40 and pb blaster. The bolt is rounded out and I don’t have any other options between Cutting the head off which will be very difficult or drilling it out. What’s the best way to remove it? The problem I have is I’m afraid to break a nut. You see on that same seat the rear bolt broke the captive nut off that is welded to the flooring. If I break the one in the front however while trying to remove it, that nut has a chance of ripping right on out like the other one and spinning free with the bolt.
Well that's the problem with old rusty crap. If there's any way you can access the bottom bolt from the bottom of the car, I'd spray the heck out of that and then I would get those reverse sockets. Since you said the bolt heads all rounded off. You get those reverse sockets that you can Hammer on and then somebody with an impact wrench might be able to get it off. If that doesn't work you'd have to drill it out and that is a pain in the butt. You'd have to try to grind the head off and then drill through the rest
