I know there are many threads involving this topic, but I am having an issue of removing the bolts in which are holding the back of the seat to the rear deck. I have tried 9mm,10mm, and 11mm sockets and i cannot get any to even catch onto the bolt. Can someone clarify what the correct socket size is to loosen these bolts so i can remove the seat? I have done this once before but I don't remember what socket size i used, i have seen the diagrams and everything on how to remove them too but im still having issues.
Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thank you

^it's a 10mm bolt. just use a ratchet and extension to get back there. you can feel it with your finger first to find the exact location.

those bolts are a joy to remove...

Okay, i have been using a 10mm socket this entire time and it just doesnt feel like attaching to the bolt whatsoever. Dunno why Acura felt the need to make the bolts such a pain to remove. Hopefully they're not rounded and that's why im having issues.
Thanks for the clarification
Looks like i'll get to rage on these seats some more.

once you locate the head of the bolt with your finger, you can slide the extension in right next to your finger so you can bite down on the right spot.

once you hit it, you'll know. it takes a lot to round off those bolts so i'm sure they're fine.

Make sure you get the one hidden bolt

Thanks for the help guys, i just had a friend hold a flash light so i could see in the seat and i got right onto the bolt.
Thanks

if you think they are a "pain" to REMOVE, wait till you have to put them back ...
the hidden one is real joy to install!

BTW the top ones just need to loosen up, the seat is hanging on them, don't take them out all the way, lift the seat back up to unhook it
