Rear Seat Removal?

[BigB84]

I know this may make me sound completely stupid, but I've been trying to take the rear seat out of my m1009 to clean ist out really good and prep for a rino liner. I've followed the TM and unbolted the seat belts and the poston on the rt. I've pull lke crazy on the handle in the rear with no success. Any insight out there?

Spray some pb blaster on it and let it sit for a while. When I got mine the handle was pretty much frozen up with rust. It just needed a little lubrication to get it moving again.

Before I posted, I used the search function on this site and searched for "m1009 rear seat removal", "rear seat removal", "seat removal" and several others. Sorry if some of these post aggravate the tenured members.

Spray all of the bolts, etc. and let them soak a bit. I removed mine by removing all the bolts from the floor - and after a bit of soaking and elbow grease - it came out fine.

don't forget to spray the sliding lock bar on the right near the spare tire, they can freeze up in the down position too

Thanks Guys! I appreciate all the advice. It may be until next weekend before I get some time to continue the pursuit.
