2 pins on the back of the runners(front seats) ones start shaped and ones a hex key type, then tilt seat up and slide foward.
back seats - lower bit 2 screws under a plastic cap at the front then just pull it out..
back rest, tilt them forwardand you will see where they are fitted, i just prized them out with a screwdriver and out it came...
door cards -- unscrew the door pocket (bout 7 screws) then unsrew the handle(3screws) then unscrew the door card itself and it will come off..
back cards - just pullout, they are on stupid little clips, try not lose them as you need them fit the new one... hope it helps

watch out when taking off the front seats though (undoing the bolts at the back) as on my corsa the nut that was welded to the bottom of the car came undone and spun (had to drill it off in the end), and on my brothers car the head (the star bit inside) rounded off and had to drill out the rest!
take it slow and dont rush the front seat bolts

Just leave the runners in the floor and unbolt the actual seat much easier, and they are normal socket sized bolts. make sure you put the red piece of plastic in the pre tensioner before you fuck about with the seat though or it might explode.

T40 Socket needed to take the subframe bolts out. Dan and I found that eassier than taking the seats off the runners.
Just get a good T40 head (Halford Professional one - only £3) and a nice strong ratchet. Put some weight on the bolt and slowly undo it.

lots of WD 40 as they are most prolly a little rusty..... just make sure you get the T40 on right or you will have problems rounding the bugger off
