What year ef do you have cause it doesn't mention anything? You will need a pair of hog ring pliers for crimping the rings that hold the uphoulstery to the seat pan and as for removing them maybe the same tool can be used but not to sure. Use a couple pair of strong needle nose pliers like from snap-on and pull the hog rings off. You will have to use the seat pans for your exact car. 1988 Crx seat pans and rails are completely different from the 1989 to 1990.
the tools i used were:
- 10mm (for seat rails)
- 17 mm or 19mm dont remember which one (for the bolt located on the side by the seatbelt)
- 12mm for the side bracket that allows you to adjust the seat angle
- needle nose pliers to remove the metal clips
- oh and i also used some carpet/upholstery adhesive to help the pan stick to the new foam
thats about it. its a pretty straight forward process. only thing is that the seats from a HB are different, pan wise. the way the pan bolts up to the back of the seat is located inward compared to crx seat pans.

OK KOOL..BUT I DECIDED TO DO IT THE LAZY WAY...I JUST CUT THE BRACKET THAT HELD THE PAN TO THE BACKREST AND BOLTED IT TO THE CRX RAILS AND IT FITS PERFECT...JUST HAD TO ADD A NUT ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE BOLT SINCE THE INTEGRA PAN DOESNT HAVE THREADS IN IT..BUT THANKS FOR THE ADVISE..ILL USE THAT WHEN I RE-UPHOSTER THE ORIGINAL SEATS...MY CRX IS A DX BY THE WAY...
