Ok. Im curious if there is a trick to get the seats in/out without removing the seat belt latch? It seems that the seats sit just a smidge high so the studs wont clear the holes.

They should be relatively simple to remove. Slide them all the way back, loosen the 4 bolts on each from under the car, and remove.
I've removed the seats from my car probably half a dozen times. It's pretty painless.

I always pull the seat belt receiver first. Makes removal and reinstallation a snap (seat just lifts straight up).
Helpful hint to rethread the seat belt receiver bolt: lean over the console from the opposite seat and thread the bolt towards you.

Yeah, when I put the driver seat in, I had to put the seat belt latch in after, cause the seat rail is right under there. Just tryin to be lazy...lol

Interesting, I,ve never needed to remove the seatbelt bolt to remove either seat. I do slide the seat forward to expose the seat rails in the back about 4 inches. It makes it easier to see the rear holes in the floor for reinstallation. I always start the rear bolts first then the front bolts usually drop right in without to much issue.
