This was not as difficult and many might think , as long as you have proper tools deleting seats takes about hour of your time.
I am doing this because I will be installing 2 full sliding drawers side by side pause in the rear area , 2 amps audio rack plus single sub enclosure.
this gives me opportunity to sound treated floor area
when you pull seats out you see bare metal there and need some TLC

I used few important tools :
instead killing yourself with short lever of arched ranch get yourself long Crescent pray bar , you can now loosen all bolts , I am 63 years old and that was peace of cake to do.
tools needed
Socket - 19mm deep one ! You need 2,5”- 3” deep socket land crescent pray bar or just simple long pipe to fit your ratchet.
as soon you get all loose you switch to drill or driver with same deep socket and get all bolts out , take seconds to do that , fast and no need to kill yourself with hand tool!
next there are 2 Torx style big boy bolts holding each belt at the base
believe or not in your glove compartment you will find small tool kid including that size Torx driver long extension and small ratchet ranch with Bronco Logo on it , these 2 bolts are snug but you can get them loose with that tool.
After that same scenario fit it on the wireless drill and get them out. Under the steam there are frees hipolding seats to the steel frame of Bronco there are smaller boldts can’t remember what size like 13-14mm super easy to pulled them out. Few plastic cover brackets cover all the hardware.
Before pulling out seat behind there will be sensor electric connectors , just simply disconnect them and you are done !
there is one Bolt holding belts females between double & single seat and it has compression washer , that took some effort to pray it out , I just broke it with big screwdriver and pliers you can easy get new one later on if you need it.
single seat took me like 15-20 minutes and double seat bit longer.
do you self favor and remove them trough cargo area if you don’t want to scratch your new Bronco, way easier than door area.
pall the bolts is good idea to put back in otherwise noise, water and other stuff will get in.
I include image of idea I have in mind for guiding side by side drawers with space for fridge and power station on the top of it.
hope this help out !
