Question need help removing driver seat

Hello. I have a 1985 300 turbo diesel that I'm trying to remove the drivers seat from. It looks like there are 2 10 mm bolts in the front that hold the bracket to the floor. Those I got out easy. The ones in the back however are driving me to drink ( well I would drink anyway ). The problem I'm having is getting the bolts exposed enough to put a wrench on them. The brackets cover them almost completely, The passenger seat does not have this problem. When I bought the car 2 months ago the seller gave me an extra driver seat that he had in his garage which is in better shape and I stiffened the springs up on it using a method I learned on this forum using "pool noodles" between the springs. This works really well by the way if you have sagging seats. The spare seat that he gave me seems to also have plenty of room to get a wrench on the back bolts also, If I could get the one in the car out. Sorry if this is too verbose but any ideas from you fellow diesel heads would be appreciated.
