Instead of paying 20$ to buy a kit to release your seat quick, spend 5$. Here is a simple and easy mod we all can do (if you have the tools)
Supplies:
1" or a 3/4" stud 2x
Small hitch pin or whatever you want to use 2x
Tools:
Drill or dremel
Drill bit (I used a 1/16" just depends on how big you want your hole)
some sort of filing device.
1st get all your supplies.
Take out the orignal bolt
screw your stud in all the way
Put your seat back on, and mark where your stud lines up with the top of the plastic on your seat.
Take the stud out.
I filed down the part I need to drill so it would be a bit easier.
Clamp your stud to something.
Drill through.
Next place some threadlocker to the stud
Hand thread it in the hole
Put the seat back on and make sure you can put your pin through, you may have to raise the stud up some.
Lastly, I did end up cutting my studs to 3/4" of a inch so it wouldnt push up my seat then filed it with my dremel. Looks great.
Easy as pie. Just make sure you have a drill bit that can run through the stud, ive ruined 2 bits and still havent gotten through one. Got to get a better bit. Anyways enjoy new easy access to you seat.
. P.S. if you cant do this mod, ill do it for you for just 5$, the cost of parts, and shipping (which will be super cheap). So less then 10$ total, promised.
ENJOY!
