Grab a13 mm socket and right below the seat cushion in the center of the seat there is one bolt remove it and out comes your rear seat.

If your taking out the seat backs then you can get to these bolts once the bottom cushions are out.

yeah they are those little things that you have to push in...

i just stick some side cutters in and clipped them really short, then they just popped right out.

then you will have to pull the carpet up and get the bolts that hold the seatbelt holder on to it. you can feel everything with your hand. there are 4 bolts on each one i think

there are bolts to the right and left of it too, if you look carefully you dont have to cut any carpet. it will just lift up and over the seat belt and you can get to all the bolts. spray some lubricant **** on it.
