urgent help needed...taking out rear seats

[Pep]

help!

need to take out all my rear seats so i can pick up my new wheels, but im struggling a bit, the pictures below show what i need help with..

the gold bolts, they hole in a rear bar that sits just behind the rear seats, i have got them out a bit but they are getting very tight, i have looked under the car but there is no nuts that i can see, so im guessing it is an internal thread?

from what i can gather i need to take this bar out so i can get to the torx screw that holds down a bracket for the rear seats, as it seems very impossible to reach this with the bar in the way??

help me someone please!!

They are just very tight as they rust in as the bolt is exposed under the car. You've just got to thrash them off they'll loosen up when they get going.
But be careful as you can shear them, get some WD40 in there if its gets real tight.

Oh and don't use a torx bit, get a proper socket on it.

ive got one out, victory!

im using a proper socket, for the torx i meant the second picture which is the seat bracket thingy!

been blasting some wd40 in it like you said, giving the second one some time to soak!

my mate told me it would be a 2 minute job to take them out!!!

why didnt you take out the bottom bit and just fold the seats down

i dont want to get all my interior dirty, i know it sounds stupid but i was told it was a 2 minute job so thought i mayaswell take the backs out aswell, and once i started i was determined to finish!

but all done now, so ready for the pickup!

Throwing some sheeting over is a 2 second job.
