    Sport Seat help!

    My bottom bracket (not the one that bolts to the floor) for the seat cushion broke on both sides in the middle. Does anyone know how to disassemble these seats that could shoot me some instructions. I looked around but couldn't find anything. Thanks for the help in advance.

    there is a how-to out there somewhere.. I'll try to sum it up for you

    1.separate the top and the bottom part of the seat
    -2 small screws on the bottom of the rear cover, then pull up on the rear cover
    2. then take out the 2 larger screws that holds the top frame to the adjusting side brackets and pull the top portion off
    3. next take off both the plastic covers from the adjusting brackets and look at the center of the pivot, you will see an L shaped pin, pry it out (gently) and then take off the c clip
    4. also undo the 17mm bolt holding the adjusting brackets to the sliders
    5. at this moment the adjusting brakets can be slid off the bottom portion of the seat
    6. to take the sliders off from the bottom portion of the seat, look towards the front of the seat, you will see 2 pins holding them in, pull them out
    7. once all the adjusting junk is out of the way, take out the copper cllips holding the leather in to whatever side you need to access
    8. Pull off leather and weld frame.

    that was really vague, feel free to PM for more specific instructions, or meet me a the ring in april and i'll do it for you for a beer.

    cheers,
    Julien
