Hi,

The bottom portion of the seat needs to be removed first. There are two bolts that hold it in place along with the seat back. Once it is out, there are two bolts, one on each side of the upper portion of the seat back. Remove them and the seat back will come out.

I attached two pics below. The first shows the two bolts holding the seat and the seat back (bottom section) in place. Then I placed two highlighted spots approximately where the top ones are located.

Pic 2 shows the upper bolt on the driver's side. There is also one in the same location on the passenger side.

Let me know if this helps.

Take care,

Joe

See pics below.
