Need to remove the rear seat back-rest for upholstery work. Vehicle and documentation is not with me. Easy access if the the seat portion is already gone? I understand there may be two bolts that must be removed. Location of bolts?

The two 7/16 bolts are at the bottom of the seat where the two metal loops and tabs are. Remove bolts and lift seat upwards to remove. If this is a coupe the arm rests have to be removed first. If it does not lift then there could be a screw into the top of the seat frame that has to be accessed from the trunk. The seat bottom is locked into the floor with floor mounted hooks. Push the lower portion of the seat forcefully rearward and then upwards to disengage wire frame from hook. Look under the seat first and also feel the hook to understand the motion to unhook it from the floor.

I have a 72 Cutlass S. I'm putting the rear seat back in the car. Does anyone know the size/type of the two bolts that go into the bracket?

I think it's a 5/16" bolt with a 7/16" hex head and a huge washer about 1 1/4" to cover that loop.
