Default Is there a trick to taking out the front power seat bolts...

I'm trying to fix a squeak in my front power seat (93 90cs). I'm trying to remove the two hex bolts in the front... I can get them to turn but it doesn't feel like there loosining... more like they're stripping or something. Is there a trick to these bolts or shold I just keep turning? Thanks.

So they're normal hex screws... right? Nothing locking them in place?

Default HA, yes there is lock tite on those, I stripped mine, good lucj

make sure you didn't strip em out. Front B4's seat bolts are *******s. I would have some regular hex head bolts ready to use in these place. I did that.

Thanks... I just don't want to break the bolts off or strip out the threads.
