Hi PhotoKit you need a Torkx PLUS socket wrench... I am out of town or I would look because I can’t recall size. 45 or 50 I believe.
I had a heck of a time finding a torkx socket until an auto parts store manager overheard me asking and knew what I wanted, he had a source so I ordered
an entire set. (most people had no clue what a Torkx is)
Reason i needed it was like you- to remove my OEM bench seats in 2011 E350. Later i changed the first bench to OEM rear bucket seats bought off Craigslist. Happy to discover the OEM Buckets had mounting brackets with same hole/bolt spacing.
I did not want the sienna seats second row due to my bed/storage not allowing enough clearance for them. By some freak of nature I found the OEM bucket seller to be within an hour drive of me. Ok I had to put up with some drunk texting by him, calling me ‘Beautiful’ while he was vacationing with his fiancée. So I waited him out and got the much lower price I wanted to pay!
As mentioned above: TRUE that the nuts under floor are welded on. I can get you the thread size next week after I return home. Took a couple of trips to Fastenal to determine correct size. Is that soon enough or do you need exact info before the New Years?
