Torx ? Tool For seat Removal
Hi all
Can anyone tell me what size torx tool I need for front seat removal ? I have even read somewhere that they are not Torx bolts. How easy is seat removal (physically). I don't want to break/damage anything. Thank you trimani (Alf) |

Torx 50 fits mine, just be careful not to slip or round anything off.
Apparently they are a speacial type of TORX 50, or some say Ribe 8 - Mine have been in and out twice with a Halfords low quality Torx 50 and no issues... but new bolts are recomended...

Edit: My seats are T50, and IIRC, every MG/Rover i've had has been T50. Once they are all undone, rock the seat backwards and disconenct any wiring for airbags, pre-tensioner, heated seat etc. Then carefully lift out of the car

The absolute size is Ribe 8, but a Torx 50 wiill fit the socket. However, any socket strains and a T50 could damage it. A Ribe 8 won't fit a Torx 50 socket though.

Anyways, I have ordered in a M8 93mm Ribe Socket. Here's hoping I can't do it, just trying to make sure I've got the right tool, when i find "a man that can" trimani (Alf) |
