    SANTE How to access to tighten loose font tower bolt

    Finally spent a few minutes to tighten the driver side FCT tower bolt that had worked its way loose. Ordered the crows foot 1 1/8 socket. Use it with a half inch driver handle and a 10” extension.

    Williams SCF36 Crowfoot Wrench Flare Nut, 1-1/8-Inch https://a.co/d/f6BL2KI

    Started with a holesaw, but ended up using a Skil saw to open the hole up to get both hands in there comfortably.

    Put about three partial turns in each time and then with the uncoil the wires going into the tower. About three or four series I had the bolt snugged up.

    If it works its way loose again, I can easily shoot some Loctite up in there.

    To remove the front cushion the 3 bolts are 7/16 and you pop the three studs out while you tug up off the brackets,To remove that angled cushion. Access the front cushion bolt from underneath pop out the bow drop in cushion to reach behind it. The other two bolts for the seat back you reach from under the dash. Have a magnet, and be prepared to drop the washers and bolts.

    Since I'm sure you tried this, I'm going to ask. When you remove the bottom cushion, is there any way to access through that hole? I am picturing a socket with a with some wobble extensions that can twist to get up in there if there's a way. Then use an automatic ratchet.

      All I can say, is there anything is possible :-) could access it from the drivers foot well as well.

      But I am all about easy access
