Default Access to Lumbar Bladders?

Can someone tell me the best way to get to the bladders? (both the ones in the seat and in the back). I've read in archives how to repair things, I just want to be sure I don't do more damage than good when I take the seats apart.

Not aware there is any in the seat?? The bladder in the back is one bladder with three compartments. It is tight but if you force your hand betwen the seat and the plastic seat back frame you will find a metal rod. It is just hooked over a clip. After you get one side unhooked the other one comes right off. At least that is what my 91 with sports seats is. Not too bad of a job at all. Good luck.

Aloha,
Larry
