Default Need help with my 2k1 audi S4. thanks

1. i need to get my passenger front seat out...

as far as ive read, i move the seat forward and use a screwdriver to take out the rail stops , the move the seat back , pop off the plastic pieces and use a 6mm hex key to take out the bolts and then slide the seat back and baddabing! it should be good ( oh yeah and unplug the harnesses first though).

this is the problem... first i dont know which way to turn the hex key, and second as hard as i try to turn it either way, the damn bolts wont ****in budge... any experienced help on this ? thanks guys

2. i try to start my car and it clicks like a machine gun but doesnt crank over.. so im assuming its the starter... am i right ? if so, is it difficult for sensible noob (me) to install a new one myself ?

right on guys

the car turns on though, i can turn on the headlights, check the time and the guages work... however maybe ur right cause then my horn doesnt honk as loud when i lock my car... can anyone else verify this ?

counter-clockwise to loosen, clockwise to tighten
