    They do make a tool especially for crimping those , it crimps them from the side and greatly reduces their size.. Thanks for the idea

    Thanks! I'm glad I found this video, as I was about to try the repair with a borrowed welder. This looks so much easier and neater. Nicely presented, too.

      glad it helped. welding is bad because it just breaks next to the weld and it's a bitch to not melt them

    Great video. I haven't checked my seats, but the driver side feels a bit saggy. I bet the springs are broken. I'm going to try and repair it now!

      They can be cut off using a dremel tool with a cut-off wheel. They're made of aluminum.
