Makes sense but it's metal on metal.

Lots of little taps vs. a twisting.





If you feel that way, that's fine with me.


I have stated how I feel after actually dealing with a few stuck seat bolts.

I used both a heavy duty Milwaukee impact gun on one seat and a breaker bar on the other to remove mine, sheared the torx heads off the front bolts regardless. Rears came out fine on both.

I felt like I could push down more with the impact gun for a better bite, but the end result was the same.

The easiest thing from experience on those bolts that I stripped as well was to heat them for about 10seconds with a torch from Home Depot. A little bit of the carpet got singed in the process but those bolts turned so easy after the heat. You will seriously not believe how easy it is after that

Does anyone have the Toyota part number for the 2017+ hex head seat bolts? Looking to replace the torx type with the updated version. Thanks!
