seat removal

[325 eta]

I have a dilemma im try to disassemble my seat and I cant get the reclining mechanism off. I removed the backside of the seat and all of the leather. All I have left is the side bolsters on the bottom half.
Ive read Jordan’s write-up and I cant make any sense without pictures. So all I need is to know is how to remove the mechanism on the sides

I need to know the same thing. I need to replace the gear mechanism on the side of the seats.

On the side There is A Circlip that Holds on the Reclining mechanism. Once you remove that and the front 17mm bolt it slids right off with a little wiggling.

Now take a look at the center hubs on either side. They have a small metal arm reaching out of them, with a peg on the end of the arm. These arms pull right out - remove them. Now you have access to the retainer clips on the hub, seen on either side. The best way to remove these is with pliers made to do so, but a pair of needle nose pliers with pointy tips worked fine for me. Keep trying at these until you get them, they can be stubborn. Once removed, pull the recliner mechanism up and off the hub on either side.
