Seat removal?

[jvencius]

How much of a PITA is it to remove the seats in a Crew Cab Superduty? When my new floor comes in I'm going to have to gut the interior to install it and I'm wondering if I can do it myself or if I should have help for this job. The back seat seems like it's more bulky than heavy and so could be "interesting" but not impossible to get in place by myself.

I usually get help when R&R'ing seating both front and back rows,it only makes it easier on the back with help

seat removal ?

CHP or JVencius,

Do one of you know what size Torx is needed to remove the front seats? The T-55 seems a tad too small and the T-60 is way too big. Do I just take it easy with the T-55 or customize the T-60?

First of all--welcome to the site. If you're a TDS refugee, double welcomes--SDD.com should be quite a fresh breath of air.


Second--I will try a T-55 since (1) I have a T-55 bit and (2)I don't know anyone who makes a T-57 driver bit.

thanks!

Thanks for the welcome. I have tried some 'other' sites and like this one the best. By far the most laid back!

That is the idea, nobody adds pressure or snide comments. We just like Ford Super Duties and the owners. Stop by often.

I had my rear out several times in my 2001 - sometimes I had help - sometimes not. Obvious it's better to have help - but it can be done with no damage by your self. I placed a moving blanket on the sill and then wrapped one around the seat itself. Just take your time is all I can say.

Yeah this site's filled with all the old people, so it's calm. Luckily I was here near the beginning, so I balance all the age out.

And were glad to have you. You keep us younger.
