Very easy mate. You need a T50 torx bit to remove the bolts. Take out all 4 and lift the seat out.
As for the rear seat there's 8 10mm bolts you need to undo to remove the seat back.
As for the base of the rear seat, just lift up on it and it will unclip itself..
Easy..!

Haha.. No worries.
Yeah just go to alltools or similar and ask for one..
You can get cheap ones.
I bought an impact one so I can use it with a rattle gun. Cost me about $20 IIRC, so the normal ones should be under $10 i guess..

Cheers

Allen keys also work just as well in 6 sided torx bit's. It's not exactly the right thing to do, but it does work.

Cheers
