Removing Seats S2

[Stu_00]

Does anyone have a guide, just want to remove the seats to clean the floor (OCD I know), once the two bolts at the front / and two allen key bolts to the rear are off pressume runners come away from floor, what do you do with the seat belt, do you remove from seat?

Cheers in advance...

90% of it is easy but removing the allen screw door side at the back is a right mission!

It did prove to be a pain last night, went and bought some more tools for the job today. Appartently its 5 mm on that side --seems strange, I think mine is a 6mm bolt...

With that bolt I think i put an ordinary L shaped allen key in place and levered it loose with the extension wobble bar. I found there wasn't enough space to get a hex bit into that bolt properly.

Think that is probably best approach, actually managed it with a short L shaped allen key but needed a beer afterwards for the pain lol

Took mine out to get retrimmed and the rear allen bolts were so tight that I nearly changed my mind. But eventually got them loose after much cursing. Looking forward to getting the seats back in - Lotus have only had them for 10 weeks so far!!
