Fold seat down, you should see a hinge between the two sides...<EDITED!!!>

that is fastened to the body. There is a cover whhich is removed by pulling up from the reaward side and rotating forward. This will expose a bolt for the metal plate that holds down the "hinge-pins" for the seat backs. Take the bolt out, and you should be able to remove the seat backs. Takes a bit of squishing around to get to the hinge.

Side bolsters are a bit more tricky...

They are held in by long pins from the side near the top that have to be removed. There is a nut that needs to be loosened, then the pin can be removed. There is also a retaining clips that holds in the bottom of the side bolster.

Hope this helps. Shoot me an e-mail if you need the actual Bentley diagrams.

Good luck!!!
