Default Easy rear seat removal and install

My seat was crazy hard to remove and impossible to install. Heres my answer to the problem.

I used a piece of steel placed onto the two bolts of the front seat to provide a base for the bottle jack. Used bottle jack from my dodge truck. Used a 3/8" x 6" bolt with a notch ground in one end. Lay jack against steel and place bolt on end of jack w/notch on frame under rear seat. Used cordless drill to crank jack. cranked the frame back to the seat hook, pushed down and lowered jack. Instantly hooked. Took 1 minute. Hope this helps.

Yep , unless one doesnt know what the clips look like, it can be a bitch of a job.

Trick is pull the rear seats Before the fronts.
This then gives one something to lean against, push in at the bottom, a little down, then it flicks up...then the other side.

Then remove the back of the seat.

Once one has done this and sees how it catches in , in the future is not a hard job.
