Re: [Chrysler300] Front seat removal 300F

["Ron Waters" <ronbo97@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Sounds like a previous owner lost the original 9/16 nuts and felt that 14mm 
was 'close enough'. I encountered same thing when trying to remove the front 
bumper on my 58 Plymouth. I'll bet the threads are pretty stripped at this 
point. Probably worth running a die over them to try to reclaim the original 
threads, or just replace the bolts altogether.
