[QUOTE="jfried, post: 14697599, member: 122541"] I'm also part way embarked on this project... and here are my findings. I've completed doing the driver side, and what I can confirm is that this swap (going to power bases) [B]can[/B] be done without stripping the seats or totally dismantling the frame. If one looks at the underside of the base, you can see 4 bolts that hold the 2 parts of the seat base together. Remove these 4 bolts, take out the wiring harnesses, and they're apart. The passenger side, I think the leather bottom is coming off. Note that it's a really tight squeeze (as the bolts aim upwards), and will likely result in some hacked up hands. The best tool you can possibly have for this is a 15mm ratcheting wrench, as there isn't room for a socket/driver. I also added the power lumbar (had to pull the material up on the original seat, recaro leather simply snapped apart enough to add that without too much issue). edit: As an aside, those who have done this swap... do you guys do anything for a seatbelt retainer to help hold it forward / make it easier to grab? For the passengers, do I need to swap out that control box as well, or just the bladder? [/QUOTE]
