Get in the back seat facing it.

I use both my knees and my hands to push back on the bottom of the seat, then lift up when you have it pushed back. You may have to do one side at a time but once you figure out how it is attached, you can do the bottom all at once.

For the seat back, once you have the bottom out, check if it is bolted down or just held in with sheet metal tabs that are bent over a piece of the seat frame. Disable whichever method it has ,then you have to push up pretty hard, moving it up about 2". The top of the seat back sits down into a little hook/channel piece on each side.

The key to the bottom is pushing back the right amount, then pulling up. If you push REAL hard you will have trouble pulling the front up.

And the key to the back is unsecure the bottom attachment, then pushing up pretty hard, one side at a time is likely best.

Re the seat bottom portion, if you feel around the bottom part of the seat that faces the footwell, you should be able to feel the loop that comes down from the seat, and the channel the loop goes into that is welded to the floor.   There's one on each side of the transmission tunnel, I guess about a foot away from the tunnel.

Once you figure out how the seat bottom comes out, you'll easily remember for next time.
