June 10, 20205 yr Hi, I need to know the spec of the bolts which hold down the front seats in Astra mk4 (I am sure these are the same in mk5?) I know that they are a torx but need the specifics please. When doing a previous repair I think I sheared the bolt when tightening it to put the chair back in. Now I want to replace the seats (as the driver one is knackered) and am worried that I wont be able to get the bolt off OR I will be able to get it off but wont be able to get it back on. I already bought the seats and quite eager to get them in! IF you know the name/spec of these bolts or if you have a manual which contains this please let me know.
June 12, 20205 yr Not sure of the exact specification of the bolts but I would be tempted to remove one from one of the seats and source some replacements at Screwfix or similar store
June 12, 20205 yr Author I think intimately that is what I will have to do - I read online that its an 'M8' bolt. I found very similar ones on Ebay: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/122038906892 Just not sure of the length and I don't want to gamble... I could buy an assortment hmmm only just thought of that! Thanks for your reply 🙂
June 17, 20205 yr Good luck with it and at least you'll have some spare bolts which are always handy to have to hand
