Has anyone removed the front seats in a 2001ish Blazer?...
My front seat has is torn along one of the seams above the lumbar control ****

 

yes if its anything like my 2005 its a quick job

you will need a small slot screw driver to pry of the ***** to guard the seat bolts from corrosion,a torx (the same size for your exterior spare rack (if you have one) and a socket set
