first job is to remove the seats using the 6mm key before starting its a good idea to mark the holes with a pencill ,dont want to use the wrong holes when putting seat back just like the vauxhall monkeys did with my na

take care when lifting out the seats the runners are very sharp best get someone to cover the sharp bits and guide the seat out dont remove the belt from the seat yet just put the seat down next to the car. when you do the drivers seat put the seat forward and do the rear first

oh and on the drivers seat rail at the back are two whashers one is T shaped and one L dont lose em next job is to remove the seat belt mountings,first you need to unclip the plastic cover,cant realy explain how. next undue the bolt with a 17mm socket.mine didnt seam to be very tight so bear this in mind when you retighten it.put youre harness bar in place and refix seatbelt mount ,bar goes behind the whasher

you may find it best to fit the belts on the bar before fitting it it saves a bit of time

now you can replace the seats,again be very careful with the sharp edges this where the chewing gun comes in usefull when getting the bolts back in unless you have magnetic bits allmost done all the bolts were torqued to 35 n as it says on the TIS disc except the bar bolts which i think might be too tight at that as iam not sure what youre tightening against.you may allso wish to use thread lock as well on all the bolts.i didnt cause i didnt have any now the fun bit is adjusting all the belts iam not realy sure the best way to have them as i havent used the before but iam sure someone will tell us

1)dont think you have to keep the seat belts but it would be a pain having to use the harnesses all the time caus for them to work you have to wear them very very tight 2) only if you remove the seat belts.see above 3)correct
