18.12.2004: Front bolts
Move the seat back and undo the front bolts. Be careful as the seat may fall backwards at this point.

The front seat removal procedure for a 1996 Saab 900. I had to take the driver's seat out on my project car to replace the upholstery torn by the previous owner. The installation is the reverse of removal. When fitting the bolts, tighten the inner side first (factory recommended torque 22 ft-lbs).

Tools:

  • Torx T40 socket: seat track bolts;
  • Torx T27 socket or screwdriver: cowl screws;
  • long flat screwdriver: to reach the seatbelt latch release;
  • small wire cutters: to cut a zip tie under the seat;
  • a new zip tie;
  • torque wrench.
