To figure out where to drill those holes in the subfloor, we put red paint on the underlying holes in the metal floor, then laid down the piece of subfloor w/ insulation. If you did as well, you no doubt realized that you had to drill holes in the subfloor so that the driver’s seat could be re-bolted through the floor. We extended our floor insulation/subfloor to extend all the way through the cab. Work in reverse to completely reassemble the seat.Or the horribly frustrating part, depending on whether you took photos/video while disassembling! Allow to completely dry before touching.Repaint the components with a spray paint (we used two cans of Rust-Oleum Black Spray Paint, which left a professional-looking finish).Let dry for another 24 hrs or until bone dry.Rinse away the Ospho residue (it will leave a thin, white dusty layer from the chemical reaction).This will convert any remaining rusty areas into iron phosphate. Apply a thin layer of Ospho to every square inch of the metal components of the seat.Use the sandpaper to remove surface rust, wearing it down to a smooth metal surface.Rinse off the stripped components and let air dry.Make sure to wear gloves and safety goggles. THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT – THE REMOVER WILL BURN FLESH IT TOUCHES.Use an aircraft paint stripper to remove the paint, spreading the remover over the paint and waiting till it bubbles.Wipe down the seat components to remove dust and grease.BUT we can tell you to take pictures or videos as you go!

Every seat design is a little different, so we can’t tell you how to exactly disassemble your seat. Unbolt the seat from the floor and disassemble the seat, scoping out where the screws and bolts are.Make sure you take photos or video of the seat set-up and how all the pieces fit together, so that you aren’t left with a massive head-scratching puzzle when you try to put everything back together!.We do these guides completely for free, so these links are the only way we get a little something back (except for the satisfaction of knowing we helped you build your dream skoolie, of course!)ĭon’t have Amazon Prime yet?
