Removing front seat bolts?

simonm15 · Jul 17, 2015

Hi
I'm trying to remove my front seats to recover them this weekend, but on the passenger side the front 2 bolts wont come out, they just keep turning round and round.

Any ideas on how to remove them?

Cheers
Simon

While since I have done it, but if I remember you will have to get someone to lie underneath to hold the nuts on the back.

The nuts are probably captive, but you should be able to access them from under the cover on the seatbox in the battery compartment and get a spanner on them....

For the fronts, but to get the rear ones I lay underneath and reached up beside the handbrake IIRC. They didn't seem to be captive on mine, maybe they are on some.

I am in the process of replacing my interior. Just done the fronts, the bolts fix into rivnuts.

One of my 8 was loose, so get under and put the mole grips on it.

Thanks all. Found one in battery box, the others I had to do from underneath

You could have removed the centre panel on top of the seatbox

Why take them off? The backs come off after removing the circlip, the bases just lift out, job done!
