Removing Seat? Hex Size? Special Tool/Extension?

Thanks. In preparation for my sound system install but also I'm on a mission to capture a quarter that thinks it's playing "hide & seek..." The front two driver seem to be 13mm... but I'm not sure of the hex size. Thank you, I also have discovered the rear outside passenger is going to be a PITA. -JD

6mm hex. Rear passenger right side is easiest removed with an extension and joint.

The 6mm ball or a universal joint will do the trick. On the extension, think feet and not inches. The job then becomes as easy as, well... pie.
