    Remove seat backs from split bench seat?

    My 70 Dart has a split bench seat that leans back a bit too far on the drivers side. There is enough back and forth play in the pivots that the seat back slides towards the door and over the support rod that it would normally latch to. It seems like a bolt needs to be tightened but for the life...
