Matt carson_sri said: It hasn't rounded. I stopped once I realised I knew it wasn't gonna budge. I got a good set from Karl that will get the fucker out. Lol. Cheers mate they will look mint once I polish them up. Will post more pics once there nice an clean. The angle of the bolt caused us to round it when we were doing it.
evocarlos put copper slip on the thread when it goes back in that will make it easier fitting the mk5 interior in the future lol
carson_sri I Matt said: The angle of the bolt caused us to round it when we were doing it. ive rounded the bolt can't get it out now
Sjdickso carson_sri said: I ive rounded the bolt can't get it out now What a PITA ! Brute force it with mole grips that's how we got mine out, there was two of us on it though, Other way would be get a socket / nut welded on?
carson_sri It is a pita mate doin my fucking head in now. Got them moving then all of a sudden there stuck and now rounded off. The things we do for a nice car tho. Lol.
evocarlos the bolt thread is under the car by the back of the fuel tank you can spray it with penetrating fluid then undo but now its rounded out its gonna need some work 🙂
vocky use this stuff, it's amazing on seized rusty bolts 😃 http://www.wurth.co.uk/product/rostoffice
carson_sri I'm gonna take the easy way out. And go down my local garage I'm sure they can remove them without much effort.

carson_sri It's all done backs are in. Thank fuck. Lol. I had a right job getting the two seats lined up in the middle to bolt them together.
carson_sri Yeah I went down and they got them off. They won't be getting changed again I've rounded a few bolts. Lol.
