back seat removal difference? - Page 3 - Toyota Yaris Forums

Klink10 · 10-28-2010, 10:02 AM

Q....setback is? If it's the star bolts check out Northern Tool if you have one close by. I would say Sears but they might be iffy. If the stars are stuck spray with PB Blaster (Napa) and let them soak. Remove with tools using loosen a little ....tighten a little. Was going to use my air powered stuff but thought better of it as they probably would have snapped.

set back for what? What are you trying to find?

That first pull can be a pain. Like it just doesn't want to move, then all of a sudden it comes out, and you hopefully don't fall.

i removed the rear seat because i wanted a more level storage area. found the proper socket at Autozone to remove the bolts. i left the seat support in and bolted the wood frame to it. also didnt want to remove the spare so i just raised the floor to level it out.

star bolt socket

And it's not (according to my "test") a regular star bolt(torx head) it's like a regular bolt but with the torx head.....if that makes ANY since

You can leave the seatbelts in for now, just remove the backseats and see if you like them out.

i took mine out ages ago.. i had the 60/40.. the rear spare tire cover does NOT stay put, i repeat DOES NOT STAY PUT. i ended up taking it out.. also it bumped my rear back up to stock height, so i had to adjust my coilovers...and the car is now front end heavier in losing 100 lbs in the rear...so i gotta brake a lil sooner and lighter...

but its all worth it in the end, now i corner and race around town like a champ... sold my backseat to justjesus...

it is called external torx. They are relatively new from what i recall. My socket set was set up to remove them just fine. But the set was made to deal with like every single possible bolt you could come across.
