Front/Rear seat removal + heater install

Ran a search and didnt get specifics. What will i need to remove the front and rear seats in my 4th gen? i just upgraded to black leather and want to know what i'll need to do

Also, i've heard that 4th gens are pre-wired for heated seats. If the leather seats im getting are heated, what do i need to do?

For the fronts when I took out my passanger seat, all I did was take out the 4 bolts. There is one on eash corner of the seat, on the floor. This was on a 96 SE. Backs are easy, not sure about the heating.

front
14mm socket i think it is ( 4 bolts per seat ) , you will see the plugs underneath to undo and plugin if electric.

back
reach under the front of the bottom section of rear seat and pull tabs. should pull right on out of the car. can use a socket set or small phillips head screw driver on top portion of seat. look behind the armrest for screws and under each side on the bottom section for one screw on each side.

on my 97 seems like i only have 2, which are one on each bottom side. but on the 96 seems like there were some screws behind the armrest.

I put in a heated seat kit from Leatherseats.com, I searched and found a few good sites with information, that was like two years ago... its not hard to do at all, probably took me a little more than half a day with no experience at all, that included seat removal from car, leather removed from seat, installing heating elements(seat and back), reupholstering the leather seat, installing seat back into car, and wiring the switch to my lighter. Kit came with everything needed, I only did my seat, (driver seat) I still have the kit for the passenger seat.
