I opened them with my bare fingers.

Well they are quite tight but it is doable with a ratchet wrech.

hehe they sure are tight if they are ,

one more question about seats and so , how do you remove the back seats , didnt see any bolts or anything ,

do i have to remove the armrest inbetween first or is there some other way i should engage ?

The rear ones are harder because the bolts ends up under the car, and there they become very rusty. You can see them sticking out through the floor.

Me and He-Man were just working on some seat bolts. Snapped one TX50 bit, but got it replaced under lifteime waranty (thanks halfrauds!).

Seat rails on the passenger seat were stuck so had to take the seat to bits.

The last bolt's head has just stripped on me

It was going so well!

Angle grinder time.

i tried to get the rails up to give me more leg room , i had to admit defeat with my limited outdoor workshop.

To ease it up I suggest you remobe the backrest. Tilt it all the way back down so the pins holding the backrest come up. Pull the pins off and undo the nuts holding it to the seat. Quite easy to do and gives you a bit more room to undo the bolts.
