Seat removal on my '86.

I know this should be a simple task. I have searched.

However, I'm having an issue with the front bolts/nuts securing the front seats. The bolt/stud is spinning when I try to remove the 15mm nut. I'm new to the car and I am unsure if this is in fact, a bolt or a stud and how I can gain access from underneath the car to get a wrench on the bolt or something to stop a stud from turning? After my quick inspection, I can't seem to find anything underneath the car? Any help would be much appreciated.

In addition, if you have any tips on making this task easier, please share your experiences.

My new carpet has arrived and I am eager to install it! :D

It should have bolts in the rear and studs in front. Ideally the studs shouldn't come out but they did on mine also. I suspect the idea behind using the stud/bolt combo was to easily locate the seats in place during assembly. No big deal if they come out or not as long as you get them back in.
