How The Hell Do You Remove The Rear Seats In An 32

[Civicboy]

Heya guys,

Just a quickie.

Im going to the drags on Weds so I was looking into removing my rear seats, but I cannot figure out where the hell do you start?

What part of the seat do you remove first and where from?

What tool do you need?

Thanks heaps guys!

R33 seats have two bolts on the sidewall of the footwell. 12 or 14mm bolts. Then you should be able to slip them out a bit, and you'll see two more bolts for the rear part of the seat, same sort of sizes. (located between the bottom seat and back-rest of the seat, behind where the seatbelts run across)

The rear part of the seat should then lift upwards to get it of the hangars, and there is one hangar that holds onto the bottom part.

If 32's are anything like that, go for it.

You might save 5kg... mine weren't very heavy at all. I recken your spare tyre would weigh more.

My 32 seats were a bitch to get off and put back in. You have to pull the bottom part off first, there should be 2 clips that will just come out with some force. Then there should be 2 bolts holding the lower part of the back part on. Undo them and then just lift the back part up.

Sounds easy but for some reason my clips and other parts didnt line up exactly, really annoying.

Maybe your car is bent from an accident. I find it very easy to do. just bolts and clips as said above.

ove had my 32 for 5 years never been able to get the bottom of the rear seat out but never realy tried that hard just worked around it as far as teh back piece goes just two bolts under the sides of the bottom part of seat these can be quite interesting to get back in tho good luck

That bent from an accident comment is plain stupid. lol, if that were the case the thing would be driving down the road with the rear wheel on one white line while the opposite diagional wheel on the other. lol.

I've tried and failed.. All though I could have given it a bit more of a heavy hand.

for me, it was easy to remove but to put the back on, was a pain.

there are 3 hanger on the top, and i was able to hang 2 of them, the third one would not fit in.

so i left it like that

After putting a stereo in and out of my car 3 time (I did it for the previous over before i owned it) I have had to remove the back seat a few times.

The two clips at the front of the rear seat should need a bit of force, but nothing sensational. Although I did smack my head on the roof when I did it the first time... When putting them back in, because you slip the back of the bottom section under the backrest, the seat comes down on an angle, meaning you have to push the seat down and backwards to get them back in.

More annoying things tho... There is a hole in the floor unto the seat for the seat to clip into, which has a plastic... thing in it. My plastic bit was bent which made it even hard to get back in sometimes... Nothing that 10 minutes of frustration can't fix.
