'37 Dual Cabin Flybridge Seat Post Removal

The left seat on my flybridge wobbles - the post moves in the base on the floor (was able to get the seat side tightned up). How do I remove the post? It moves but I cannot pull it out. I would actually like to add a few inches to all of the bridge seats by changing out the post's - has anyone done this? Thought about trying to remove the base but cannot turn the screws on the bases either and was worried that they may be through bolted.

Scott,
The bases are through bolted. The post should not spin in the base. To get more height in your seats you can add a spacer between the seat bottom and spider. You could also add a spacer between the floor and seat base.

The post does not spin in the base but it wobbles - I need figure out how to tighten that up first. Shimming the seats up 2 inches seems like an akward solution - might end up going there if there are no taller posts available but I still need to remove the post from the base.
Thanks

How about filling base with something like 4200, 5200?

When I had my 32 apart the post was swedged to the base. It does not come apart. The factory through bolted the base. Real pain to remove.The head liner is a real pain to remove. When I put it back I used rivnuts. If you only have a problem with one. I would drill the heads of the screws off. then puts rivnuts in. Joe
