How do you remove the front seats back cushion

How do you remove the front seat cushion back?

When I searched on how to do this and waded through posts that skipped the vitial info I found one that said you pop the back piece of the seat that is held in my four clips and then unbolt from there? How do I get this back piece of without breaking the clip or the backing board.

This is my donor power seat .. heres the clips but I broke the backing board trying to pry it off and don't want the same thing to happen on the good seat cushions I'm swapping in. Old seats need to go back into Cefiro for when I sell it soon


There is a bolt here that holds the seat on but you can't really reach it .. you can with a spanner but can't get toque on it and would stretch fabric


Bolt is tucked pretty deep in there

The FSM shows how they're assembled, most likely you'd have to either remove the upholstery, or just slide it up to get to the bolts.

You will need to remove the metal rings that hold your seat covers in place and the back panel in the back of the front seats that snaps in from the bottom. !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!CAREFUL!!!!!!!! I said bottom, the upper part has hooks that you do not want to bend.

Use a trim remover tool to get the clips off. Autozone carries them for pretty cheap. Plus it'll come in handy for removing other pieces on the car, like the trunk lining.
