I think I have a 'spare' socket, back in the day I used to 'save' money by buying cheapo tool sets. Hah! I used to call them 'self-torqueing' sockets. You know, tighten until the socket rounds out the inside. (I swear, they were made of lead!) I'll try that, I'm going to wait until the weekend when I can afford to take the seat out of the car. Thanks for idea! Brandon Thomas 1988 C900 v16
