Seat bolts torque specs
I need to remove my passenger side seat and was wondering if the bolts need to be torqued to a specific value when reinstalling. I havn't seen anything in the tech manuals that I have. Thanks ahead of time for any info.

I've never seen a tech specification on those.... I'm sure it exists but in every seat I've ever removed/re-installed I just tighten it down real good and I've never had any problems and I've done that on 3 different honda's... It worked for me!

like SIR said just tighten them up with a big rachet ,, do not waste your time with the torque specs

Tighten until there is a sharp rise in torque and then 1/6 turn more. That is hondas rule for unspecified torque.

*LOL* "...Torque spec for almost everything..." so what do you do for things that don't have a torque spec? I think that sounds like a pretty good rule of thumb if you can't find what you need, I'll agree that most everything does have a number but for seat bolts it's kind of pointless to lookup so it's a good thing to keep in mind for non-mechanical bolts...
You're both right. |

Forgot to add that its a 91 accord lx coupe if it matters...just thought that those bolts are rather important (ie, in the event of a collision) and was surprised that torque values aren't readily available for them. Thanks all.

if you look at the way that they are bolted in (the angle etc) you'll notice that under a collision incident it would pull on the bolt and have to snap the bolt before it would do anything, if they started to "rattle loose" you'd notice it... I believe that's why they aren't as concerned about it as you might think..
