You either need one heck of a torque impact wrench, or a long breaker bar. I had to move both front seats to their forward most positions, and with them both leaning forward. I got into the car, facing backwards, sitting on the center console with both of my feet planted on the metal just under the rear seat backs.
In this position, I put the breaker bar with socket onto the bolt head, grabbed it with both hands, pulled away with my back while pushing away with my legs. Trust me, it's a "bia" but this method works. Once you move it the first time, you have it licked.
That's exactly how I did it. That one I got out. It's the twin bolts that hold the mount to the underside of the car that I can't get free.
That requires one heck of a torque impact wrench and a lot of 1/2" extensions. Don't try to loosed those by hand. You may have a blow out!
Now I found out! lol I already put Humpty Dumpty back together again!
Add more beef to your diet, smoke cigars, and gawk at pretty women as they walk by. Then the bolts will come right out.
Congrats, you just grew a third ball. :lol1:
*Ferd 15,000 reference* - google search that video if you have never seen it. :-D

Done!
I decided to tackle this again after the speed shop messed up the install on the uca and accompanying mount. I removed the rear seat, got the bolt out with a breaker bar, jacked up the car, supported it, and removed the two rearmost mount bolts. Now I'm about to tackle the lowering of the gas tank. I have the T50 piece, and began to loosen the two rear bolts that hold the fuel tank straps but then stopped.
Here's my question: how long is the bolt that holds the fuel tank strap? Do I have to loosen both? I'm hoping I don't have to remove the whole shebang and can just lower it a tad, but I'm trying to avoid releasing the whole strap.

Place a jack under the fuel tank to hold it in position and remove the driver side tank strap bolt. Loosen the passenger side tank strap bolt by approximately 10 turns.

Use the jack to slightly lower the gas tank in order to slide out the bracket and arm assembly.
