Replacing seat bushes...help!

[bombur]

Ok so I have sorted the new bushes and put them into the kebab. However on the Left side (as you sit) the rail has come to far up and I cant get it passed the block with the bush in

also on the other one I cant get it to line up with the T50 hole. Its in the spindle at the other end, but is a bit out

I don't want to force anything so thought I would ask for guidance in first instance!

Im probably doing something stupid..

Ive done some brute force on the left one, hammer and screwdriver .......got it out

out with old

In with new

So passenger seat working fine.

Went on to do the drivers seat and I cannot take of the rear bolt (door side) off, other side was fine. I don't have a 16mm socket to fit my breaker so will have to get one....unless there are any tips on getting a tight nut off
update...have sprayed a bit of penetrating oil around seam and will see if that helps tomorrow

Extractor sockets, they have fluted inners that grip the bolt/nut as its turned anticlockwise, works on rounded off bolts as well.
