Help with RT comfort seat installation?

[ARtraveler]

I just got the comfort seat for akspyderlady's RT. I am having a problem getting the stock seat off. I have installed two Corbins and one comfort seat on other :spyder2:,s--but this one is giving me problems.

Problem: I am able to disconnect the shock per directions, no problem with the passenger weight switch--but I cannot seem to get at the two rear bolts to remove the seat off the bracket.

I can barely get the ratchet with a 10mm onto the bolts and even with the seat lifted as high as I can get it--it seems that I can get about a 1/16' of a turn each time on the bolt.

Am I doing something wrong here? Suggestions would be very much appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

:chat: When Des sends you an Ultimate seat, he suggests getting a Stanley 3/8" ratchet model # 89-962. You twist the handle to ratchet, not back & forth. That way you get it down in that

limited space & twist. Got mine at Walmart, worked fine.

Thank you for the suggestion. I will give it a try.

I used a 1/4" ratchet and got to the bolts from the top of the seat.

My service tech used one of these. It was slow but worked well.

I removed the seat back which gave me more room.

I worked from both the top and the bottom with a standard ratchet, one or two clicks at a time...UGH! Be sure to cover the two holes and long slot with masking tape or stuff rags to avoid nuts, bolts, and aluminum sleeves dropping in.
