Default rear seat

Hi All

Just after a little help? Can someone tell me how to remove the bottom part of the rear seat as I need to get the seatbelts! The car failed its MOT today as the centre seatbelt locking mechanism has failed!

Pull up the front to release from the pegs, then push towards the rear of the car, lifting at the same time to release from the hooks at the back.

Do I need to do anything with the back of the seat prior to removing the bottom as it seems to be stuck?

Thanks

finally got the seat out!

Next question does anyone know the size of the torx bolt holding the seat belt (locking part) in place. Mine seems to be stuck? why couldn't they use as standard nut like all the other place!!!

Thanks
Clive

I doubt very much you'd snap it, try a proper penetrating spray like Plusgas, WD40 isn't any good

Don't think I mean shearing I mean rounding the torx grove!
