easy.. i've done both seats actually, since i mounted my amp under the passenger side one, and i disconnected the seatbelt thingy on the driver's side. so! anywayz there are 4 big bolts at each corner of the seat. i think they're around 14mm in size, so get a big wrench and take them out! the rear bolts are covered by plastic, so remove those and unbolt. easy as that! hope dis helped

Yea its just 4 bolts, you don't even have to touch the seatbelt.

If the bolts are rusty though it might be a little hard. I had one bolt that was really stuck bad, had to take it to a mechanic and he worked on it for a few minutes and finally got it off.

you g2 be kidding us that you cant take the plastic pieces off. :D
First off, i wanna know why you took them off, second of all, one suggestion while doing stuff on your car, Don't be gentle !!! just pull the damn thing off, and dont worry they wont break.

I suggest you use a socket. If you are using one and you still cant get it off, get a peice of hollow pipe and put it over the handle end of the socket. This will give you greatr leverage and make it a piece of cake.
Goodluck.

most tire places have a little kit that has a whole variety of different size locks. so you should be able to get them off unless its a really unique lock.

Just use a pipe that`s tight enough to get hammered onto the lug nuts, and just use some airtools to get it of. Had to do that with my 4 lock-nuts... Damn mechanics lost my security-key...
