I used a set of these http://www.harborfreight.com/cpi/cta...emnumber=94534 and they made a hard job very easy. The hex shaped ball ends allow you to work at an angle to the hex heads on the bolts and with an extension you have plenty of room to work the ratchet wrench handle. They also work great when you put the seat back in. Just put a little dab of chewing gum or your favorite sticky stuff (I use use a bit of sticky black mastic tape used to install windshields) on the ball end, insert the ball end into the head of the bolt and you can feed the bolt back through the hard to reach hole in the seat rail and into the floor using one of these drivers and your extension.
