I tried to take them apart yesterday but couldn't get the plastic side piece off of the recline lever. How do i disassemble these seast fro shipping?

thanks

 

Pull like crazy on that plastic piece. Be sure to keep your fingers inside the plasic so when it comes off you dont slice your hand open!

 

does the recline lever pull off with it?

 

does the recline lever pull off with it?

i dont know if this will help but worth a shot http://preludeuk.forumup.com/about14453-0.html

 

no, the lever does not come off with it.

you need to pull real hard on the plastic handle and it will slide off.. don't be afraid to break it, but make sure you pull in a straight line.

After the handle is off, you can undo the philips screws holding the plastic trim and slide it off over the lever. There will be 1 or 2 12/14mm bolts underneath the plastic trim that needs to be removed.. on the other side of the seat, there's a nut where the 2 cushions "hook" together that you need to remove. There's also another 12/14 mm bolt on this side and 4 bolts/nuts underneath holding the cushion together.

Should all come apart after you undo the fasteners.

 

i got them apart with the link someone posted. thanks!

Just for reference: upstate NY to MN UPS cost 58 bucks for both seats. I thought that was pretty cheap
