Need to take seat off 1982 Honda CM250c. Why is this so difficult?

My Suzuki GS750e has no issue with getting the seat of but this bike. I've tried to look things up on Google & I'm finding nothing. There has to be an easier way. There's three little bolts under the seat but I've try to shop for a tool that could fit up under the seat or even bend & NOTHING! This is not a Honda Rebel seat, This is a Honda CM. Please help me! I'm trying to get to the tank to paint it.

If you can take off the tank, do it. Then a bit o' blow torch might help.

The seat is bolted on.
Reach under the rear fender to feel the two nuts securing the seat to the frame.

It's either the two bolts holding the seat bar on, by the turn signals, OR-http://www.rebel250.com/rebelforum/viewtopic.php?p=121267

  • Why won't my 1982 honda magna idle? It runs good riding it but it just won't idle. I have to hold it at 3000rpm to idle. It set for years
  • How to take off handlebars off a 2014 honda shadow? Laid down my bike yesterday, my handlebars are bent, got some new ones, and i took the 2 bolts off the bottom of the handlebars, throttle, brake, etc, and it won't come off? Is there anything else i need to remove to loosen the handlebars further?
  • How difficult is it to rebuild my Honda Rebel Motorcycle transmission? It is an 06 Honda CMX250. There are broken fork shards inside the transmission (possibly the engine) and I don't have the money to take it in or get a new bike. I have past experience rebuilding since I rebuilt one that's exactly the same as this. I'm patient and willing to take my time to make sure everything is done right. How long would it take to take my transmission off my motorcycle, open up and clean and replace whatever parts needed?
  • I have a Honda Harmony HRB215 K4 SDA that won't pull start but if I take off the recoil and drill start it, it runs perfect? I have a Honda Harmony HRB215 K4 SDA that won't pull start but if I take off the recoil and drill start it, it runs perfect. I did a compressin test, the pull start only gets the mower to 60psi but the drill gets the mower to 150psi. This mower does have a decompression vale where the ehaust opest about 1/8 of the way. I tore the ead off and checked and cleaned the valves. They don't stick open. Could there be an issue with the decompression valve? Or would it be the piston rings?
