Its really really easy. First you take out the bottom seat cushions. I believe it is a 13mm bolt, could be 15mm though (1 on each seat cusion right under the front). Next you have a two options - one you can take the belts out with the seat back, or you can take the seat belt bracket off the seat and leave the belts in. I just take the brackets off and leave the belts in. Either way you need a torx bit - this is the only tough thing to do. The only reason it is tough is because there is a ton of loctite on the bolts - but after the first time taking them out its really simple. So take the 2 bolts out to remove each bracket. Then remove the 2 nuts on the bottom of the seat (where it rotates). I believe these are also 13mm. Then just take the seat out and you're good to go. Hope that helps and if you have any more questions you can shoot me a PM.

Trying to save weight? If your doing that, remove the rear seat belts as well... they weigh as much as the rear seats, LOL!
