Drivers seat broken trim
#9
To answer my own question, yes the back rest lever adjuster isn't screwed on like the other 2 levers are. It is clipped on and I guess there is a proper trim removal tool out there, but I made do with a couple of flat bladed screwdrivers. One to bend the locking clip, and the other to prise off the lever. The plastic is well and truly bruised, but any damage is hidden when the cover is clipped back on.

I mentioned that it appeared all the screws were T30 torx. They're not. Only one screw is T30, which holds the rear up and down lever on. The front up and down lever, and well as the 3 screws holding the trim on are all T25.

I was going to do a HOW2, but to be honest, once you've removed the lever covers to reveal the screws, and also figured out how to take off the back rest lever, it's pretty much all self explanatory.

Only annoying thing was all the trim screws had thread lock on them, making them bloody difficult to remove in the confined space under the seat. Basically they were tight to undo the whole length of the threads. Grrr.
