How in the rabbit do you get those fecking bolt off? They are like fucking welded to the floor 
I know they are meant to be in there tight as if ya crash ya dont want it comming undone  But i only have a screwdriver with the right head and a puny electric one that istn powerfull enough to move it 
Any tips/tools to free it up??
Cheers guys

I dont understand why some people dont just remove the four bolts under the seats that attach it to the subframe. Unless your removing the subframes, to change seats you just leave them in...

because you can remove two T30 torx bolts put the tensioner locks on the seatbelt pretensioners and lift out. takes 10 minutes max.

took my about 10 hours to swap my seats over! I was trying to undo the 4 bolts rather than the 2 and lifting whole lot out. Wish i'd known that tip at the time!

the bolts can be very tight, i took mine out recently and need new bolts allround as they pretty much rounded off.
use some good old wd40

Right i need a rachet with torx heads basically, my drill couldnt do it.
Its just the 2 screws at the rear, no need to remove sub frame as different corsa seats going in,
They are tight as fook and as i said i have a T40 IIRC screwdriver that fits and wont budge it!
Right off to halfords soon

If your just swapping corsa seats id just undo the 4 bolts holding the seats to the subframe
Undo the front two then you can pust the seat up and back and easily do the back 2
