And, all you're going to need for fasteners is one sixth millimeter bolt cut, ten millimeter head, and a large finder wash on it, and we'll just set that kind of in the back out of the way for a minute. First thing we need to do is, we've got these front hooks, and they slide into position, and shove it down. And I get both sides there. Now as I just lay it back into position, but what I've got to do is feed the seat belts through the holes in the seat.

And I'm just going to go through and pull each seat belt through while i got good clearance and accessibility. Once I got all the seat belts through, just kind push it down underneath and on the ends and into position. The one fastener goes right in the back. There's a metal bracket it goes into. Kind of a wire loop. And I just start it by hand like I do all the others. And when the screw gets on, I'm just going to run it down, snug it and tighten it up. OK, I'll just come back and tighten this up with a socket. Want to make sure it's good and tight. In our next segment we're going to cover installing the back rest portion of the seat. It's in two pieces. So please watch our next segment."
