I am trying to remove the headrest socket from a Caravelle rear seat and fit it to another rear seat. I have pull out the locking springs and got the headrest out. The guide (see item 10 in figure below) seems pretty stuck ... it might be screwed in - does anyone have any experience in doing this?

You ask why? I have swapped my Caravelle rear seat for a multivan bed seat but want to match the headrests with the middle and front seats.

Thanks

ive done the same on my back seat, its easy , get two srewdrivers under the guide and yank it up ,their only push fitted on, or undo the back material off the seats put your hand up the back off the board and push up.
