Remove the four SHCS's and mounting nuts and the remove seat. Repair cut lines.
If your seat is manual good luck; a cold chisel wont shear those SHCS's. These cap screws are made this way in case of an accident.
Thanks Gary. I understand your method but i'm not sure direct 12v to the motor will help in this instance. If i'm missing something let me know. I have disconnected the flexible cable from the motor and tried getting a turn out of "screw" with a pair of pliers, no good. Thanks for the info about the shcs's, I had contemplated the cold chisel technique.
