* Under the seat: Most bolts securing the seat to the floor tracks are located underneath. You'll need to get on your hands and knees to access them. There are usually two or four bolts, depending on the seat's design.
* Behind the seat: There may be additional bolts or fasteners accessing the seatback from the rear. You'll need to tilt the seat forward as far as it will go to reach these.
* Inside the seat: Some adjustment mechanisms (lumbar, height) may have bolts associated with them. These would be harder to find and require partial disassembly of the seat.
Before you start:
* Consult a repair manual: A repair manual specific to your 2006 Chevy Impala will provide diagrams and exact locations of the bolts. This is highly recommended to avoid damaging your seat or car. You can find these manuals online (often as PDFs) or at auto parts stores.
* Disconnect the battery: This is a safety precaution to prevent accidental short circuits.
* Prepare your tools: You'll need the correct size sockets and a ratchet or wrench. A flashlight will also be very helpful.
Do not attempt to remove the seat without knowing exactly where the bolts are located and having the proper tools. Improper removal can damage the seat or the vehicle's interior.
