there is a hinge on the corner of the seat that has a threaded stud going down with a nut on it(can't remember what size) I used a small ¼ in. rachet to get mine off(with the socket facing up)It is a tight fit but once you find the nut and get it started lift up on the seat to gain a little more room as you go.

It's pretty easy to get at that once the bottom part of the seat is out. The bottom sections are held in place by one 13mm bolt at the front of the seat.

total 2 bolts and 2 nuts, all 13mm

remove the bolt from beneath the center of each bottom seat portion and remove the bottom seat cushions. Remove the nuts from each corner hinge and lift out the back portion.

Install reverse of removal
