Default Swapping front seats - easy job?

I'm changing my front buckets for sport seats (MY01 bugeye). How easy a job is it to take the seats out?

Cheers
Richard.

Four bolts per seat. Those at the rear of the seat have covers, which prize off.

When replacing ensure the bolt WILL do up with fingers before applying any force. If it feels stiff, wiggle seat about until it will turn by hand. Do this or you'll strip threads

As Above

It's a 2 person job ...... semi recline the front seats and take them out of the rear door !! They have some really nasty sharp bits of metal ready to take off large amounts of paint from the bodywork so take care !!

Also check your seatbelts plug into the new seats, you might need to swap the sockets over on the seats..
