rear seat delete question

ok so i get my rear seat delete kit today in my 05 mcs, which i am pleased with btw and its worth the time to buy instead of mine to make (for me anyway) and go to install today. I only had a few minutes to play with it as i was in a hurry and had 10 min. I unbolt the whole back seat structure and go to remove it when i notice the bar that comes out of the bottom of the back seat and goes into the side panel at the bottom. the one the seats are attached to that allows it to swivel ya know. i stopped there cause i didnt have the time but how the hell do you get that thing out, the rest of my seat is ready to lift but that bar is in the way. There has to be an easy way that i missed which is funny as i do have tech knowledge :impatient just little time

you have to put the seats at about a 45 degree andgle and pull them towards the center of the car. there are slots that it slips out of. the shaft has a pin running perpendicular to the shaft that holds it in.

I have the kit sitting here waiting for my car to return from the dealer. Mine came with great color instructions. Did they miss a step in them?

Shouldn't this be in "Interior and Exterior Mods"?

Cool. I just wish they made the kit in the same color plastic as the OEM trim.
