This is some great info, is there a specified torque setting for re-installing these bolts?

The torque spec for the seat bolts is 48 foot pounds. I did not have the needed torx socket so I used a 10 mm six sided socket. Only problem was I could only get it torqued to 45 ft lbs. The poor fit of the socket and the awkward positions and needing 12 inches of extentions made it difficult to torque.

I did not disconnect the battery because the book said I needed to find my radio code before disconnecting. Well that was a whole new problem to solve, so I just didn't unhook the battery. I was very careful though. Luck was on my side I guess because I did not know anything about not putting the key in the ignition. I just didn't put the key in it until after putting it back together.
