Default sorta p*ssed

heres the deal. i went out and bought some stuff for the interior off my car. seats, shift boot, shift ****, ebrake boot, ebrake ****. cant get the ebrake handle off, or the boot(handle has to come off first) and the seats, omg, they said they would bolt right up, lol, w/e. when i took the bracket off my old seat i sat there for 30 min trying to figure out how to put the old bracket back on the new seats. so needless to say all this money is sittin in my garage and cant get none of it on. sorry, just wanted to vent a little. im sure someone out there can get a good laugh out of it or something

You shouldnt have to saw it. Search the forum, I know this has been discussed before, I'll look around for it


EDIT: I found it, and it loks like theres not much too it, it's just difficult. Sniper says you need to twist back and forth and pull at the same time. Use a rag or something for better grip, eventually, it will come off.
