ON How to remove rusted seatbolts

I managed to strip the two of the bolts that hold the drivers seat from the back. The space is too tight for my drill. Can someone advice on how i can remove them without drill and tapping.

Soak the bolts with PB blaster, FreezeOff, or another rust penetrator. Let it sit for a good while. Hit it again before you try and remove them. Next get to work with a file and file the edges down to the next size. (ie. file a round 14mm down to fit snugly in a 13mm.)

Not the easiest method but it's what i've had to do a few times.

See your local princess auto for this set.

Sock in penetrating fluid, hammer the socket on, ratchet the bolts off.

Where in Toronto are you? I can lend you a hand if you're local to me or can bring me the car.
