Theres a nut on the outside bottom corner of the seats(lower right side for drivers, lower left side for pass). I think it's 13mm. Undo that then pull the seat towards the outside to get it off the pivot rod. real easy, just sometimes the nut is hidden by the fabric

You didn't say if you have a solid rear seat back or a split style. They both have a hinge that is mounted to the seat back with a threaded stud pointing down. It has a 13 mm nut attaching to it from below. You have to remove the bottom seat cushions first to ge to the nut. The solid rear bench has just the two hinge bolts to be removed. The split bench style is removed by removing the nut, then twisting the seat back while folding it forward. This gives you clearance to pull it off the post that is welded to the center hump. I hope this helps, Lon.
