So I used some pictures posted by a guy named rick to guide me through removing the back seats -- I'm stuck on the last step though where you have to pull the seats out of a couple pins holding it in place. So how the heck do you get it out of the pin holding it in?

Just for reference i took of 4 screws on the front, one in the middle in the back and 2 on the sides in the back (did I miss any?).

 

No you need pop the holder in the middle so it unhooks and lets the seat come free then you need to hold the seats at about a 45 degree angle and then pull and pull out the passanger side first.

If you still can't get it PM me

 

It sounds like you got all the screws. It is super awkward trying to physically wiggle them out once they are unscrewed. You have to fold the seats forward to like a 45 degree angle. Then pull up where the seats come together (in the middle where they meet). Its easier if you have some help to hold the seats while you wiggle them out of the bracket on each side of the car. It takes some playing with, but you can tell when they come loose. I forget if you have to do one side at a time or if both sides come out at the same time. The angle of the seat has to be right for them to come out. Hope that helps, good luck!

 

If you are rear seat back out. they dont require lots of bolt undoing...

from the boot, fold the seat backs down. at the joint bewteen them, there is a 10mm bolt that is part of the bracket , not a bolt the hold the bracket to the floor.

Loosen that bolt, all the way.

Grasp the left seat back, and pull up sharply at the edge between the seats, it should pop out of the center bracket. then with the seat angel about 45 degrees (unfolded about half way), you should be able to slide it out of the outside mount.

repeat for other side.

 

Wow, three responses in 2 minutes

 

All saying pretty much the same thing.

 

Worked at last! So it appears I was missing a bolt in the middle, and the key is to pull up from the center.. BOY was that drivers side a ***** to get out. The passenger side came out just fine.

 

Don't believe anything that a guy named Rick posts.
