nylon seat gear stripped, but cant get off

[inteller]

The nylon seat gear for forward and back has stripped. Very common Nissan problem. However, the seat track is put together differently than a lot of howtos indicate. The nut is on the outside of the plate I need to remove to get the motor off. If I turn the nut the track moves.

Does anyone know how to get this nut off? this is a $30 fix the dealer needs $1000 to do.

Heat..... Lots of Heat. Red Hot than remove

And you know this from experience? applying that much heat in the car will catch something on fire.

I have been in this trade for over 30 years. Anytime using a torch extreme caution must be taken.
