Was trying to remove the torx head bolts from the seat subframes but because they were that crap and old they just rounded off. Now nothing will grip in them. Ive tried hammering bigger heads in too but with no joy.

Cheers

is it the outside seatbolt that goes through the tensioner as well? if it is then theres a tiny captive nut on the underside of the floor, cut that off and replace it with a toughened nut and bolt with nylon top, there an arse as the pick up all the rod crap
