   Anybody know how to safely remove seatbelt pretentioners and install in my new seats?? Will be getting the Harnesses in there at some point in the next few weeks but quite fancied fitting the seats and using them with seatbelts for the time being.
   Anyone ever attempted this? The How to guide isnt very specific on this point
   Thanks

   Take the seat out, use the appropropriate socket to remove the pretensioner. Then torque them onto the new seat.
   
   I cant see it being harder then that.

   Make sure that the battery is disconnected and then leave it for 10 mins.
   Then disconnect the cables under the seat. Then unbolt the pre-tensioner and do reverse to refit

   Thanks for your help guys- am i right in thinking i need to get some eye bolts that match the thread of the bolts already used to secure the seatbelt points and replace them, then strap the harnesses ontothe eye bolts?
