      I didn't have any trouble with mine when I took then out like 4 years ago. Mine is a 96' Camaro. Used a 1/2" drive on it.

            I work out 3 times a week. how come no one has an issue =( i used all my strength it wont move. it seems like all the bolts on my car are a huge pain in the ***. maybe my tools just suck.

                lol i just took the whole both back seats out. they came out right out.. but i think the seatbelt bolts may be stripped or i just need a better tool for them.

                  get a blow torch and torch the bolts for about 30 seconds then try em... make sure there isn't any cloth nearby, or anything underneath that could catch fire... even if its close, the metals gonna get hot enough to catch cloth etc. on fire even if the flame itself doesn't actually hit it...

                    mine gave me some trouble too, and like you I'm surprised no one else's did , but once I shot em with the torch they came out like they'd been tightened yesterday
