you pull the seat bottom up (there are clips) and then the seat back just kinda comes out, its really easy

it's not that heavy, I removed mine and ended up putting it back just because I was sick of getting stuff dirty by putting it in the buckets left behind by the seat... there's tar-like sound deadening material back there that gets soft and sticky in the sun.

Push the *** part of the seat backwords, then when you think its allll the way back, try lifting it. It might be tight, you can even try to concentrate on one side at a time if it doesnt come right out.

When you get that part off, you should see 2 bolts or so holding the back part of the seat in place.
