Those screws are a pain.   You will probably have to use every trick you =
can think of to get them out.

I use ATF as a penetrating oil.

=20

I believe I did use an impact tool to start them.

The problem here is that all the screws have wear points and the long =
screws are full length threaded.

One of my long screws also had a slight bend.

=20

Use heat, use penetrating oil, use a very good screwdriver that fits =
well and work them slowly out and in as needed; they will turn out.

I had to buy a BSF tap to make the threads good again.

It=E2=80=99s been a decade since I last did seats but I remember using a Po=
zidrive
bit on an impact driver as the standard Phillips bits were a bit loose.
Once I got them loose I soaked each one with 50/50 acetone/atf and after an
hour they came right out.
