removing drivers seat

[Idaho Red Rocket 3]

I have successfully removed the drivers seat from both of my Boxsters without disconnecting the battery. They were out for several days while the seats were repaired at the upholstery shop. I was told the secret is not insert the key in the ignition while the seat is being worked on, or while the wires are disconnected. No trouble at all both times.

'Tis true. You just have to make sure that any time the seat electrics are unplugged, you do not have the key in the ignition.

True, plus I would slide the seat forward first and remove the rear bolts, then slide it back for the fronts. This way, the seat assembly is compacted and easier to withdraw.
Also, 37ft/lbs doesn't sound like a lot, but a 1/2" breaker came handy.
