Removing Rear Seats! Need help!

[willhalligan]

Right, changing my rear seats for sport ones and have just managed to get the black bar out from behind the seats and that was an absolute b**ch to get off. But Im just curious as to whether you are supposed to undo these next?

They literally wont budge, I dont want to break the thread because then that would be a disaster. Can someone please give me some help?

Here are some pictures:

BIGGEST PAIN IN THE ARSE EVER

I had to get a mate to jack the car up and take it from underneith and ended up grinding the whole thing off !

Pump some iron!

Get some more leverage. They will come out.

 

[DannyR]

Only need to undo the one furthest back towards the boot, the other just half a turn to slacken it

 

[willhalligan]

I used a bit more of a leverage (4") thats the biggest available for that star thread.

It moved a little bit but the thread is practically gone and slips every time.

Does anyone have any ideas?

 

[DannyR]

4" what? Bar? Your going to need a bit of a bigger bar for that!

Get some mole grips on it

 

[Fletcher]

Buy a breaker bar.

Impact driver or weld a nut onto it.

Lol, if he hasn't got a bar bigger than 4" I doubt he'll have a welder lol!

Be careful not to round it off, I fail at getting them out

Too late by the looks of it

Breaker bar, wd40, easy peasy

 

[Alexlfc]

I failed miserably at this as well, such a b**ch to get out. Advice above my post is the same method I used. Came out eventually

For some reason on both my Clio's I've never had an issue removing the isofix bar or these torx screws.

As said, you only need to fully remove the one furthest toward the rear of the car. The one further forward you can just loosen slightly, then the bracket will slide out.

They do just come undone! Some need more force than others. Eat a can of spinach then re-tackle it again

 

[Struggler]

sorry, but LOL at not being able to undo a pretty big bolt with a 4" bar!! what did you really expect!!

get tubes to an axle stand and slide it over the end to make the bar longer, just make sure its a nice fit or it will slide off!

This!

Should always have a hollow bar at hand

Get under the car and give the black bolt a good clean with a wire brush and soak in wd40. Then, next day try loosening it, when it won't move anymore, tighten, then loosen and so on. Add more wd40 if needed. that's what worked for me mate.
