Need some advice. Broken seat slider bolt removal

[suaveflooder]

So, I went to install some Corbeau CR1's today. Removing my old seats, I noticed that the back two bolts were pretty tight, so I put some pb blast in them and just went slow. Well....the head snapped off. WTF? Stepped back for a second and tried to figure out what had happened. I've pulled seats out before without an issue as they just screw into the floor pan............unless you have subframe connectors!! :bash::bash:

Anyway, fixed my mistake and got the rest of them out, but have to get the old bolt out so I can install a new one.

Question is this: The bolt is tight, but the rest were able to spin pretty easily once the bolts connecting them to the subframe were out. Would it work to gorilla glue the nut back on the bottom (not tighten just keep it on the end) and then just spin them through the bottom via the subframe connector nut? I have a new bolt and nut, so I can just toss the old one when done.

basically gorilla glue the nut on the bolt like this:

Any better ideas?

Oh, and here are the seats :rockon:

I snapped mine off and tried everything to get them out. I ended up cutting off the 'bracket' underneath the car, drilling the bolt out, and then installing a new one.

Drill it and tap it out?

The new seats look good but I love the red inserts of the 10th anni seats better personally.

The good news is that what is left turns, so I might just tack the current nut on and just unscrew it out from the bottom on the subframes

And as far as the seats are concerned they will be refinished with leather and with the 10th red centers :rockon:

Buy a quality easy out kit. Done.

A sharp pointed punch and some light taps from a hammer will screw it out enough for you to grab with fingers or vice grips if need be.

Yep this worked for me as well when I broke a exhaust manifold in my other car, welded a nut and removed that sucker, then again when my buddy broke the head a lug nut head on his Rabbit...

Awesome!! I'm hoping to have time to get this done this week. It was a stupid mistake on my part.
