4 torqx bolts for the seats, very very hard to remove tho! alot of elbow grease will be required!
also watchout if your car has seatbelt pre-tentioners make sure you put the red plastic fork in to the slot on the canister, or it may go off when you attemp to remove it
think of an airbag going off you get the idea lol!
as for the blowers you need a flah hed screwdriver and a big of cardboard so you dont damage the dash
move the vents as low as possible then slip the screwdriver up and prise it down, if will make a nasty klick like somthing has snapped but dont worry it hasnt broken (atleast if you have done it correctly)
hope this helps

the plastic fork for the pretentioner canister should be attached to it, no need to get one you should already have one
theres 4 bolts one on each corner of the seat or 2 on each rail.

There is only 2 bolts that hold the front seats in a Corsa B and there right at the back of each of the runners on the seats. When those 2 bolts are out just pull the seat back and it will slot out because instead of bolts at the front there is a clip-style thing at the front of each of the runners that holds the seat down at the front. The back seat is simple to take out. The foam bit only has 2 star screws holding it on and 3 or 4 torqx bolts holdingthe back of the seat on. I changed the full interior in my Corsa to SXI seats in less than an hour, its quite easy to get it all bk together once everything is out. Hope this helps a bit.

Oh are u taking the carpet out aswell mate? I didnt take my carpet out but it didnt look 2 difficult at all to do, i think it would probably just pull out from the back once the seats are all out, unless the plastic floor trims maybe restrict it from moving?
