I was just trying to get you to the campground this weekend. I figgered you'd be finishing the job later.

I was just trying to get you to the campground this weekend. I figgered you'd be finishing the job later.

I didnt mean it like that. I just meant to say that when I was working to remove it I was going in with the mindset of "whatever it takes to accomplish the job". Then I had to stop myself before I broke more bolts....regroup and remember what my overall goal was. So I pushed the seat forward for this weekend and figured I would have better luck after I talked to you guys.

I appreciate the advice.

No problem - didn't rub my fur the wrong way. Just in a hurry when I responded.

Did you order recently? When I spoke to Merlin, he didnt make it sound like any of the 4 bolts (2 fronts, 2 backs of the bracket) were on back order.

Why are we worrying about brackets? Just take out the bolts from the front of the seat on both sides, lift from the back and then remove. It seriously takes 10 minutes the first time and less than a minute after that.

Are you talking about the bolts that bolt down the bracket, or the pin that goes through them?

When I looked at the seats, I only saw 2 ways of removing them.

1. Remove the pin and separate the bracket.
2. Remove "4" bolts and remove the whole thing. Bracket and all.

What am I missing?

I think there are only 4 bolts, that's it. Quite simple. When I removed mine the 1st time however, those bolts were very tight. I suggest you use a breaker bar with the correct socket to initially loosen them.

Other that that, it should be quite easy.

And I still do not have it

Unfortunately you were right. The bolts are on backorder (3-6 weeks).

The front facing (big) bolts are good, but one of the rear facing (small) bolts is broke. Are the small bolts just to ensure the seat doesnt fly forward when they are folded forward? In other words, should I be concerned that one of the small bolts is missing when I latch in a child seat?

is probably okay for awhile but get it as soon as you can or get a stand in at the local hardware store using the one you do have as a sample
