   I'm having a right stress and need some help quickly please.
   
   It was my intention today to remove the front seats from my car to Hoover and shampoo the carpet cos it's rank (previous owner). I've got torx screwdrivers that fit the nuts, but I can't budge them at all, I've even tried WD40 and still nowt. Has anyone got any other tips or advice, it's getting on my tits!

   Same happen to me mate! I ended up using an attatchment so I could use the torx bit with a ratchet. you need some sort or leverage or a power screw driver.

   if you got a socket set, get the socket that fit the torx screw bit and then you can can leverage on in, thats what i did to get my grill out.
