    I'm selling my front seats and back bench today, so obviously, they need to come out of the car...

    Bench came out fine, but the front seats won't budge. They are screwed in with them "star screw fittings" and I've got the right tool to get them out, but they won't move at all...

    Any help?

    What are you using to remove the torx screws? Just an allen key type thing? If so if possible use a socket set with a torx adaptor as it will give you more leverage and therefore make it easier to undo!

    It's just like a screwdriver, but with the torx bit on the end...

    (Sorry, I'm shit with names for tools and that... lol)

    Yeah, that will be very difficult! I am shit with names too..

    Have you got access to a socket set with torx adaptor?

    something like this

    The screws are going to be very tight (they hold you in after all) so with a screw driver it will be very difficult!

    you need either a T40 or maybe T30 idk i cant remember !
    but you need it on a rachet to give the power because i think there screwed in really tight, might need some extentions or what ever lol.
