the backs of the chairs have come loose at the joints between the seats and the base of the back of the chairs do they need knocking out and gluing only i cant get them out!!!!!!!!

Use a small paintbrush to get whie PVA Glue into the joints

Wind a double length of rope around the area of the joint in such a way that when you place a small bar of wood or a screwdriver between the pieces of rope - and wind it up like a tourniquet - so that force is applied to the joint(s).

Place a piece of cardboard between the rope and any parts of the chair you need to protect - the forces on the rope may damage the wood else.

Good luck...
