Need a little help, pretty please?

So I'm trying to install a cradle ...

Best I can figure it out, it is supposed to install on one of the seat bolts.

Pics attached, forgive the bulldog hair.

I have been breaking my back and hands trying to get that star shaped screw out ... the damn thing will not budge. Put some WD40 on it and still nothing.

How can I loosen that thing up so I can slide the mount in?
I don't have power tools btw and the space is rather tight in there.

Thanks.

Have you been using the right size torx wrench??

 

[soulsea]

All I have is a screwdriver (part of a tool set) that has interchangeable bits/ends ... so I have the right bit that fits tightly in the hole [giggles] but the darn thing won't budge when I try to unscrew it.

If you have a ratchet wrench it'd be a million times easier to go to the store and get a socket with the right size torx end on it (take your bit with you as a reference). With basically just a screwdriver handle it's going to be hard for you to get enough leverage to loosen that bolt! With a rachet wrench at least you could get some leverage....

Hooray!

Thanks Mr. Burb!

u seriously are trying to remove seat bolts with a screw driver? no man should ever be without a decent ratchet set and some wrenches and just overall decent set of tools. u can get by without the pneumatic tools and such if u must but thats no way to live w/o a decent ratchet set. and im betting since its got the interchangable bits, its one of those dollar store type of chinese tools. throw it away. china is no place to make tools.

off soap box now.
