Socket alternative?

[SWSS]

So, I may not be the smartest but I cannot seem to find a E19 Star socket anywhere! Every set I find skips the 19.
What does everyone use to get the nuts off the seats? Or am I just missing something?

Have you tried a cheap Torx bit from your local HF?

That’s just it, it is a star socket, not a star bit I need.

Ahhhh, gotcha now. Have you tried a reg 6 or 12 point socket? I personally haven't tho.

I use a 12 point socket. A normal depth socket works fine, but you have to just barely insert the extension into it because a normal depth socket is really too short.

i think this is the VIM I got to take the seats out of a 2004 to get to the airbag brain, haven't tried it yet but I think the seats nuts are all the same size

They're two different sizes... Sorry, I can't remember the sizes, but it's easy enough to check [emoji6]

Or these if you can fit them in there. I love them.

Gonna try it! For $11 bucks, it can’t be any worse!
