It's a ribe bit m11 but a t55 will work if they're not seized solid. Personally get the ribe m11 if you can but it on its own

Use a jack pole or a power bar to get them moving

I had to use a breaker on 3 of mine when removing the passenger seats, using a T55. It doesnt help that some of the ones I had were rubber coated so the rubber was gripping against the floor so they wouldn't turn. I did the WD40 trick too, helped me out with the stuck fast ones.
But as above, if you have a ribe bit apparently they come out a lot easier...

Good luck!

We loved it so much, we have just purchased a Mk7 LWB high roof Transit to do some staycationing!
