Default Driver seat rebuild

It's almost time to tackle the foam in the drivers seat. What is the approx weight of the seat. I'll be working alone and don't like nasty surprises . ('04 with sport seats).

I replaced the seals covers in my 2000 convertable, just unplug all the connections under the seat and 4 nuts and the seat comes out with no problem. I'm 62 and did the job by myself.

They weigh close to 60 lbs each, if you have all the bells and whistles on them. The hardest part is lifting them out of the car. Take off the roof if you can.
