Ferrari 550 head rest removal

[del mar]

Afternoon,

Does anybody know how it comes out - before I try to get aggressive with it ?

I am stripping the seat to re colour, it had been done before but was a poor job, brown instead of red.

Thanks

Del

I saw a Barchetta without the headrests last week in London. It looked very good but of course loses all safety. The guy said he unscrewed the bolts that are exposed from the inside of the boot when you take the back wall carpet out. Not a difficult job apparently.

I couldn't get mine off either and it doesn't seem obvious, didn't want to break it.

In the end I got the trimmer to do it, I used the guy Neal Lucas refers who did fantastic work (not cheap though).

Isn't the fuel tank between the boot and the seats?

Not from what I could see to be honest. The bolts looked pretty accessible but they did say it wasn't an easy job when I asked.
