[V8] removing front seats

[Miller, Chris]

OK, I pulled the zip tie at the front, removing the short plastic cover
on the lower part of the rail.  didn't really change the access; there
is about 1/3" or less above the socket head bolt.  I cut an allen wrench
down very short, and still can't really fit it in.  Is there a benefit
to drilling out the rivets holding the front cover on the threaded rod?
I may have to weld up a special tool (allen wrench piece about 1/4" long
with a wrench or better yet thin flat metal rod welded to the top).

I removed the plastic end covers, and the plastic lower cover over the
bolt heads.  There are two zip ties, but they don't seem to be retaining
anything.  I'll look again.

Did you remove the two 3" long blocks in the tracks that are zip tied in
place (one per side)?
