Have any of you had problems with the big philips screw that goes through the chrome brace and holds the two halfs together and allowing them to fold forward. I have sprayed anti seize over them and they don't look rusty but man the want come out! :mad Every big screw driver I put on them seems to twist out of the slots instead of turning the screw. Any suggestions please? :confused:

Wade, the original seats from my '69 gave me the same trouble. What I did was remove everything down to the bare seat bottom frame and hinge. I sprayed it with PB Blaster, then took a torch and really heated the back side of the seat bottom frame around the screw. It took a couple tries, but it finally broke loose.

Good luck!

Another way to break the screws loose it to use an impact driver. I have one that is 3/8" drive and has a set of bits. You wack it with a hammer and there is a twisting mechanism inside that drives the bit either left or right. I don't think they are very expensive and it sure comes in handy. Craig

I had lots of problems getting that screw to turn. I did manage to finally get it off with just a lot of grunting.

I wasn't so lucky, I ended up locating rust free frames in Cali.

No one mentioned it here but mine had a locknut on the end of that screw inside the frame.

Sure you took that off first?? :eek:
