Help removing rear seat upright section
We'll my little guy (almost 2) I think is now old enough to start taking rides in my cab. I've search and read the posts for the folks who have put in front-facing seats and the consensus seems to get as much space by removing all rear seat entirely. I'm stuck on the upright section (the part the pivots)...what size/kind of bolt is holding the seat on the far side? It looks like there are too many slits to be torx (and I tried all my sizes of those)...what do I need to go buy??
Thanks,
Will
P.S - I'm going to be putting in a radian 80 seat - narrowest base I could find at 17".

Loren, are you sure you're not looking at the seat-back latching posts. Those are 6mm allen in my 00 Cab.
The seat back swivels in my car are 8mm triple square (or star) .... and you are the one who identified them for me (on RennTech), and told me to find them (at Wiha I think) several years ago when I was repairing my Cab water drain system.

I couldn't find them anywhere in the Atlanta area, and looked pretty hard. Loren put me onto Wihatools.com .... but I just now tried and could not find the set I bought (8 & 10 MM) with 3/8 drive base.

Kim, are there any Pep boys there in Atlanta? I got mine from them. I used them seperating my Sports Design wheels with 90 plus triple square bolts. The tool still looks brand new after all those torques.

I bought my triple-square set on eBay.
Just eBay or Google for "VIM Tools 8 Piece XZN Triple Square Metric 3/8" Drive"
Under $25 for the complete set as I recall.
