Seat bolt rounded help - doogle-d turbo - 27-02-2013
I'm swapping my interior and the passenger seat front left bolt has been rounded off by someone. What's going to be the best way to remove it with no damage?

have you got any allen key socket pieces as you can sometimes jam one in and push down on top of the rachet and it grips its just enough to undo it.

Cheers mate ill have a look at that, but its the bolts on the side of the door sill. Can't get much pressure on it. Might have to drill them out :/

3or5 door? If its a 5 door you can un bolt the runner from the seat. Take the seat out and leave the runner in the car. This way it will give you alot more acess.
You can the angle grinde a slot into the top of the bolt and use a large screw driver to get it our

Success! Ended up smashing a 1/2 " socket on to the bolts and getting a fat ratchet! Cheers for the input!
