How to easily remove seat bolts
After removing the seats from my bus I thought I'd pass along a helpful method I discovered along the way.
I found that tightening the bolts with an impact driver until they break off is the easiest method. This worked for about 25% of the floor (asile) bolts and almost 100% for the rail bolts on the seats since they weren't rusted.
If the bolt spins instead of breaks then I stop and cut half way through it with the cut off wheel then used a pneumatic hammer to go the rest of the way. The pneumatic hammer is optional but if you have one it will save on cut off wheels.
I removed all of my seat bolts in about 4 hours using this method.
