Seat bolts: need helping identifying head type - Toyota Yaris Forums

MyBlueYar · 04-25-2023, 07:10 PM

Well . . . just when I thought I had this thing licked. As you suggested, WeeYari, I went out and bought an E10 sized torx socket. I successfully removed 3 of the 4 seat bolts, but the last remaining one had been partially stripped previously.

After a few attempts, I could clearly see it wasn't going to work, and if anything, it served to round off the remaining nubs a bit more. I bought a set of bolt extractors at Harbor Freight this afternoon, but alas, even those did not work.

Any stripped bolt experts out there? Any suggestions would be appreciated!
