SEAT BOLTS

[07WYarisRS]

Anyone know the size and where to buy the socket or wrench to unbolt the seat from the floor?

I'm wanting to remove the seats to see if there is room to install an amp under the seat but can't find a socket to fit the odd Torx style bolt.

i havent done it before on a yaris but i work on cars and my guess is its a 14mm socket you can get this at any tool store depends on what ur willing to spend ill check tomorrow and get back at yah

That's it, 14mm 6 point or 12 point socket works. It's the same as the rear seats.

I believe the torx size is T-30 (female/socket)

[07WYarisRS]

Yeah is a small torx ( male) bolt that requires a female socket.

T-30 ya say... i'll check it out
thanks

Snapon seem to call this tool a E10, E4, etc... female torx. I found it on few tool sites by searching for "female torx"

Here it is on Snap Ons website:
