[Chrysler300] Socket Tumi

["Rich Barber-Desktop" <c300@xxxxxxx>]

There is a tool called a nut splitter  available for $4 to $30+.  Google
?nut splitter?.  If the studs are welded to the seat support, split and
remove the nuts and replace them with something SAE with corrosion
protection.  A six point 14 MM socket may work better than a 12-point.
And, there?s always a big Vise Grip

Decimal conversions: 

9/16?:      0.5625?

14 MM:  0.5511?

17/32?:   0.53125?

13 MM:   0.5118 ?

½?:           0.5000?

 

Good luck.  Let us know what standard that nut was built to.

Hi Gang:

I'm having a bear of a time trying to remove the front seat of my 300F. It
appears that the nuts under the car securing the seat to the floor are a
weird size. The nuts on my car are bigger than 1/2" and smaller than 9/16".
It sounds like a stupid question but it has me stumped. A "test" nut had
undercoating on it so I burned it off and cleaned the nut up good. No luck.
I can't find a deep well 17/32" socket (they don't seem to exist) and size
13 & 14 metric don't work either. All comments appreciated.
