you need a posidrive/philips screwdriver, but they can be BLOODY tight!  Probably easier to just swap the backrests over, if its a 3 door the handles will be on the inside which isn't to big a deal, although you'll have to reach back further to put your belt on!

I was told that I would have to knock it through with a screwdriver and a hammer, is that right?

Do you mean to swap the seat tilt to the other side?  I've not done it before but I guess it could be possible once you've removed the knob & trim covers...

swapping the seat backs over is the easiest way, only some push pins on the trim and 2 C clips, then the backs come off the base! swap em over and then bobs yr uncle ;)
