From underneath you can see there are 2 long plastic hooks and the side with the back lean lever has two clips, pop them off.
Tip- If too tight put some weight on the cushion to get some slack.
![IMG_9477.jpg IMG_9477.jpg](https://www.wayalife.com/data/attachments/305/305526-947fae4d7ac3d1965f8bd34fd9fab97d.jpg)

Remove the back of the seat 3 1/2” bolts. On the seatbelt side of the seat there is a black plastic washer that goes between the brackets don’t lose it.

On that same side there is also a steel wire that just sticks in the bracket, carefully remove.
![IMG_9482.jpg IMG_9482.jpg](https://www.wayalife.com/data/attachments/305/305561-a2d591ce0dc34838d7efcabb45c3a83a.jpg)

Bolt locations, lift up flap to get access to the lower one.
![IMG_9481.jpg IMG_9481.jpg](https://www.wayalife.com/data/attachments/305/305575-9e51c46239e46126e696a54d2091154e.jpg)

Base cushion cover needs to be completely removed, do this by “unrolling” the cover from the bottom inside out. Push down on the corners of the foam to get more slack, go slow don’t force it.
![IMG_9489.jpg IMG_9489.jpg](https://www.wayalife.com/data/attachments/305/305598-7ae7c0ea4631d1e3a346467a9ce257dd.jpg)
Hog ring explanation: inside both the cover and the foam cushion there are metal rods, these are held together by little rings bent around both of them to remove them you cut the ring, NOT the rod. Pro tip- close your eyes when you snip they’re flyers.
On the bottom back of the cushion there are two or three here
![IMG_9490.jpg IMG_9490.jpg](https://www.wayalife.com/data/attachments/305/305609-24e33ee7580ce0f653059b324c918402.jpg)
