Removing headrest from seat

I want to replace the seat cover on my drivers seat. Does anyone know how to remove the headrest from the seat?
Also, other than the recliner lever being against the console, can you tell me if a passenger side seat would fit on the drivers side?

Per the Helm manual: "Raise head restraint to full up position. Insert lock release tool down front surface of head restraint post until it stops. Push head restraint and tool fully downwards at the same time; then lift restraint out of seat back." The tool is just a 6" x 1 1/16" .015 smooth steel blade with a loop at the top. Replacement is more or less the reverse.
