Removing Armrests ???

Did a search and couldn't find anything on taking the armrests off. I can see where the three bolts that hold it on are but i cant get anything in the holes to get to the bolts. If anyone has got tips or methods on getting them off that would be great.
thanks, Themuskr

Are you using a Torx bit? It's a T27 IIRC.

You will need a T-30 Screwdriver to remove the armrests

This may sound dumb, and I know its a torx bit, but when I removed mine, they werent really too tight so I just used an allen key to get in there. Worked for me, but if you do this method make sure the bolts arent too tight. Dont want to strip them out. Better to use the right tool for this job.
