Hey guys,

just wanted to ask if there are any tips or tricks i should know about when removing the front seats in my car, is it just a case of unbolting them or is there anything else?

Cheers folks!

just unbolt them and try not to hit any thing as you lift them out either on you or the car!

might want to get under the car with some WD as the rear bolts for the seat and the seat belt runner go through the floor ,what i did was turned the bolts one turn and then gave it a good spray from the top to allow it to run down the threads .came back after a beer and they came out a treat

Seat belt end bolts to seat on four door cars. Pain in the arse if you realise they are still attached as you try to lift the seats out!

make sure you lift the seat forward by pushing the reclining lever down to get at the rear bolts. Took me 15 minutes and scraped knuckles to figure it out :?
