Seat removal tip if you don't have a helper

[Butnerbus]

Use vise-grip pliers on the nut underneath then loosen the bolt from inside. If you have several sets of vice-grips, you can avoid even more trips under the bus.

For me it was a 4-1/2 grinder with cutoffwheels for the legs in the floor 5 seconds per bolt and then pound out remainig.

I've done it both ways. I always feel smarter when I use the vice grips but I really hate crawling under my bus and I really like the noise and sparks and beating on metal --its got more animal energy or something and its dangerous and the bus could catch fire or I could hit myself with the hammer or lose an eye etc.

Yea thats why I like the Bansils method best--and its why I have health insurance--and have had to use it, repeatedly

All kidding aside, the grinder is the way to go. My two cents worth. Jack

grinder with 8 inch cut off wheel....
no guard of course

[ol trunt]

Silly me, I forgot to mention that the guard has to be removed --along with that little ledge thingy that keeps the disc from touching whatever while the grinder is spooling down after shut off. Sorry

[bansil]

Silly guys an 8" grinder is too heavy to use upside down with one hand

Angle grinder for sure, be sure aim sparks at your clothing

[Tango]

Works even better if you soak said clothing in gasoline first.

[ol trunt]

No worries, that happens automatically after the grinding sparks melt a hole in your new plastic gas tank.

LOL You people are evil. Frankly, I hate that grinder but for my bus it was only thing that worked until a guy with tanks and this pretty flaming torch thing came and oh wow...I thought the grinder was scary.
