Just wondering how to f**k remove the back seat of the EF? i read in the workshop manual and according to that u need about 5 knees and about 500 pairs of hands anyone know of an easier way to remove the back seats in an EF? Also while i have the front seats out, will the carpet just lift out?

The east cushion basically just slides out afaik with a bit or persuasion, just make sure u have the seat buckes unclipped from the base or it wont really go anywhere lol. There carpet should lift out with the front seats/console out - also you will need to remove the door plastic sills to reveal the crapets edge. Ive had my carpet out at the front, and its easy enough.. Hope that helps somewhat.

Exactly, but as i said make sure the seat buckles arent still in there little slips attached to the back of the seat base itself!

I am guessing that the backs are bolted in from the sides somewhere? The base i need to push back then up correct? there is a 10mm bolt for the side bolsters at the bottom, the push them up, and they will release off their hooks - opp to put back in - hook them in, and push down. as for the back seats, once you have removed the bottom, you will see 6-8 x 10mm bolts at the bottom - easy as to remove. even if you fold them right down, and remove the carpet which overlays from the boot lining, you should find the bolts necessary to remove Back to top Andrew J Fordmods - Getting Side Ways Age:22 Posts: 2440 Joined: 05 Nov 2004 Location: Manjimup WA, Australia View User Gallery (0) Posted: Sun Dec 19, 2004 8:04 pm    Post subject: uglybob wrote: comhelp wrote: ok so the side cushions, just pull straight out or do i need to push back then up then out or up then out or what?
