Romove 2 black covers on the front bottom to expose the 2 bolts there, remove them. slide seat forward, remove rear 2 bolts.

Lift seat up slightly and disconnect the electrical harness(es)-remove seat.

Takes me 5-10 minutes now.

I have my driver's side seat on work bench.
I pulled it out a couple days ago.
Put a heavy blanket over the sill area so you dont scratch it when removing & install.
Good luck.
