    Pull up on the front of the rear seat, right in the middle.

    You'll have to pull a lot harder then you would think, they have 2 clips similar to a seatbelt holding the seat base in.

    The bottom just pulls out by lifting on the front. Someone posted a link to a video somewhere recently.

    The back of the rear seats have 4 (or 6?) nuts at the bottom of the seats. I can't remember if a couple of these are for the seat belts. Once the bottom is loose, pull out slightly on the bottom and lift up. The top is held in by tabs.

    Fairly easy job.
