Hi 1st post need some help thanks.
 
Ok so I just got a 2nd hand 2012 gts, looking at putting bucket seats in as friend has set cheap for sale but as I looked at seat rails noticed two of the torx nuts have been stripped. I dare said previous owner had same idea but fucked the nuts instead. I was told try functional bolt extractors but they couldn't grip to undo them, then was told use a nut splitter on it but can't get the tool into the little grove to grab it. Any ideas on how to remove the nut? It's driving me nuts need to remove it. Thanks

Welcome to .......the forum,Carnewbee........:)

Since they are already messed up, I'd suggest you use a cold chisel and a big F-ing hammer and cut them off.
