about the seats, guys. what kind of socket do u use to remove them? i have never seen that type of hex before.

I got it with a wrench. But i think it's a Torx bolt. The rear center ones were a biotch. tried grinding a groove in them and ended up beating it with a hammer until they came loose.

hey i checked it out, they do look pretty wierd, but i was willing to bet that a socket could be used on them anyways, since they were so small, and the car is an import, i thought id start with a small mm sized socket, 9mm was lose and 7 was too tight..ahh 8mm seemed to fit just right...i havn't tried it because i dont have new seats yet so let me know if an 8 mm socket works...if that dont work, im sure a good pair of vicegrips will do the job...

thats what i used but i cant seem to get the rf one back in without damn near stripping it. i just wanted the right one so i dont strip it.

See, parts are hard to find at times for these Nissans!
And someone called me crazy for saying that in an earlier post.

Either yards can't do nothing with them and scrap em, or they already have the best parts pulled.

I just got lucky and found some backwoods guy near me with a yard behind his house, and he has 3 Nissans i can pull from.
A 89 Sentra, 88 Pulsar *missing the head, oh, and seats

*, and an 90 Maxima for misc shit.
On the first day i went by his yard he had 2 Sentras in the crush pile ready to be scrapped. Nothing i could do to save em.

The 89 is cherry tho. But has a piston rod punched thru the front of the block, front struts and speedo cable is gone and some windows busted out. But am seriously thinking about buying it off of him and having it towed to my house to Mix and Match from w. my 1990. I really need the whole interior from that one. As well as the A/C system and Power Steering.

Can the IC w. tach from the 88 Pulsar go in a 90 Sentra ??

***** I belive it's called an inverted torx socket, and 10mm is the size you need. An 8mm hex socket will strip the torx bolts. Yes, the rear seat bolts are tougher to get loose, because their threads are exposed to the elements under the car. I always wire wheel the threads and apply never-seize compound.

I thought the Torx sockets were measured by T10 to T60, not mm. I do believe it's the T60 inverted Torx socket you need.

This is the Snap-on socket I use. It is a 10. It fits. Part # is FLE100.

i dont know , racer. i had a hard enough time trying to find the screws for my stock rear speaker enclosures. home depot, lowes, advanced , and the zone didnt even have those

If it's like the head bolts on an E16, you should be able to use a 12-point socket.
