I am trying to replace the carpet in the cab area of our Baystar. How to? Can anyone help me point in the right direction?
 
If like our Essex there is one large nut 3/4 inch that is in the center of seat that needs to be taken off to remove the seat. Seat is heavy and hard to handle so be ready for the seat to fall of stand once the nut is removed. Hard to center to put nut back on when seat is ready to be replaced.
 
If its mounted on a pedestal like my Ventana I would remove the four bolts holding the pedestal to the floor. On mine the bolts go thru the floor into a frame work. The nuts are on the underside of the flooring and they are located near the front wheels.

Thank you, do you unscrew them from the bottom?

Thank you, I will have a look around.
 
Yes long bolt with lock nut on the bottom. Tech used vice grips to hold nut, didn't want any help!

Just took the passenger seat out for repair. Stang is correct. I think it is a standard 13/16 bolt. There are four If you turn your tire it helps on the ones underneath the coach. Also found having a buddy to hold the nut underneath is a great help. Good Luck. P.S. Take pictures of the wiring connections.

Maybe that's a man's job, one seat out, one to go, so far no luck.

thank you for the help. Still struggling with it. Bolts are not budging. Cut two of them off and they came out, new bolt seemed cheaper than dealing with it any longer but.....one defies me. Cut it, not budging, it's almost like its soldered in there. I will beat it but probably not a job I ever want to do again.
