which part? the whole back seat? the bottom where ur bum sits or the back rest part?

Bottom bit should come out via pulling it UP from the front and then pull out... of the bottom frmae it sits in

The back rest bit, now that the bottom is out, should have 2 bolts at either side (at each bottom corner) in these metal brackets holding it from memory.. its been a while though..

Don't forget to first unlock the backrest by pulling the strap on the passenger side, makes things so much easier:smilegrin:
