Subject:Accessing battery -- am I too simple?

I went to access the main battery under the passenger seat on my 84
Westy today. The Owner's Manual tells me to slide the seat forward all
the way. When I do so, I find I can remove the bit of carpet that is
folded over the rear portion of the seat pedestal. I find a black metal
cover plate with four Philips screws. The two rearmost screws are easily
removed. However, the foremost two are well-covered by the lower portion
of the  seat's "lazy susan" thingy.  There's no way to access the screw
heads.

So I'm sitting here, looking at this and wondering if I am too simple to
be allowed to drive or something?
