How to remove pas. seat back?

[cyruscat]

Going to recover my seats but not sure how to remove the passenger seat cushions from their frames.

Back doesn't have any bolts that I can see.

Thanks for any help.

It's in the -20 manual, part 3.

There are a few bends, indents, whatever you want to call 'em. pry thr frame out of the above mentioned goodies and i'll come right out.

Sawzall if you don't want to be able to re-install it

I pulled, and it came. But I see you're a pussy[cat]...have your wife try for you.

The cushion is just a spring frame. The outer metal rods are locked in by the indents in the seatback. Have fun.

I used a large screwdriver to pry mine out when I recovered it. The frame that holds it in place is crimped in spots to hold it as stated above.

Ditto, pry the cushion out. There is a metal frame that holds it in.

much easier to get out than back in!! i did mone and i chewed up the fabric pretty bad TRYING to re-install the seat back

Its Still not fully re-installed I cant seem to get the metal round frame to stay in the "crimped detent parts.. I wish i had not messed with it.

Thanks for all the info. The video is really nice.
Re-installing does sound troublesome, I don't want to tear up the new fabric.
