Fold down the seat backs (the latch for the seat back is at the bottom of the seat back). Lift up on the two floor latches for each seat (one on each side), lifting up on the bottom of the seat to lift the seat floor clips out of their rear recesses in the floor. Tip the seat out of the front recesses and lift it out of the van. It is heavy and awkward, so be careful or get assistance.
Chevy Astro and GMC Safari
Remove seats
On my 2001 Astro there are 4 bolts from the seat frame to the floor remove the bolts and the seat is removable (HINT move the middle passenger seat back as far as it can go and that is easier to remove the seat and frame ..I have done this twice on the 2001 and 3 times on the 1989 I had..
pop the cover off that is between the front seats
Locate the bolts at the base of the seats and unbolt them. You'll have to disconnect any electrical connections if you have power seats.
If the Astro van is equipped with all seating, it would have two bucket seats in the front and two bench seats with room for three people each for a total capacity of eight people. However, some of the Astro vans are equipped with only one bench seat making the total capacity seating for five.
You dont the seats that an astro comes with are just great
all you have to do is use common sense and your good to go!
It is connected to the rear of the engine, which faces longitudinally in the vehicle. So the gearbox should be somewhere between the front seats.
I am hoping someone has the answer to this question, as I am trying to remove the chairs from the middle of my 89 Starcraft conversion van.
very easy to remove seat. Turn the upper section of the seat down, then release the seat by pulling what comes from under seat, then it rises up, and you can remove the seat. Theres very clear pictures in the seats.
Both versions of the 2001 Venture seat 7, 2 in front, 2 in the middle, 3 in the back. Not!!! I own a 2001 Chevy Venture. Mine seats 8, 2 in front 3 in middle and 3 in back. For easy access to the back we have removed one of the middle seats. Jewels4
