How do these come off/out? I had a squiz on my lunch break today and didn't see any screws or bolts hold them in.

Well in my EB, you just have to lean nice and hard on the seat base near the bottom of the bolster. There should be a bolt visible (10mm socket) which you can undo without removing the seat base.

Then remove the little plastic ring over the striker bolt for the split fold seats.

Then just lift it up and then slide it off the striker bolt.

Regards
BenJ

Yeah, ended up having to undo them with a 16mm spanner to get the bolsters off.

The best thing to use to remove them is a long socket (can't remember the size). The socket must be long enough to go over the peg and to turn the nut at the base of it.

It was 12:00 last night when I ended up doing it, so I just used a spanner. A deep socket would of been better (looked after the nut better and that)and easier but wasn't avaliable..
