We had this happen on our race car we were building. The "bolt" welded to the frame of the car came loose and was spinning. We didn't discover this until we got the seat out and had a closer look.



You will have to hack the head off of the bolt to get the seat out.



Sucks doesn't it???



I did a lot of cursing.

Heat it up and blow it out.



I've done the JB Weld thing, sucks to loose a socket



I also have a set of Bluepoint extractors that work really really well.
