FB Seat swap

Okay, so I'm not really a new member. But my question is so basic I figured this would be the place to ask.

What tools are needed to remove/install FB seats? I remember it's super freaking easy but I don't recall what to take with me (the car is a ways away and I don't feel like taking a whole tool chest with me).

Something like a 12 or 14mm socket and a screwdriver?

Thanks

I think 14 or 17, an extension may be handy for the rear facing bolts.

Thanks, I'll take both then.

I just thought about a potential problem: Are the brackets/rails the same for FBs and FCs? I'm taking out Turbo II seats and replacing them with more original '84 seats in my '83 GSL. The '84 seats don't have brackets, and I was going to swap the brackets from the TII seats, but looking at pictures I'm starting to wonder if they won't be a direct fit...

Any thoughts?

If you're gonna take seats out of an fb they'll have brackets attached.
