How do I remove the rear seat on my extended cab. I've removed the nuts on the four floor studs. Does it just pry up or am I missing something?

Its been a looong time since I pulled mine out (needed to make a 'dog bed'), but yea, up and out. Tis a bit of a bear but you are on the right path.

Word of caution: THERE ARE SOME DAMN'D SHARP EDGES ON THE SEAT BRACKETS!!!!
I found that out the hard way.

It is a pain. Need to unbolt the seat brackets, also at the center of the seat where the seat belts go those need to be un bolted. The there are verticl "slides" on the back of the cab that the seat back is captured into. The seat needs to be slid upwards to release it.

Cumbersom. Two people is virtually a must.

don't break the plastic shims that hook into the slides!

Found one of mine torn up and the other one not even installed from the factory when I pulled mine out the first time. I thought it would cause a rattle but it hasn't.

I managed to break most of them when I pulled mine out for the katzskin install... I wedged some foam in there, and that solved my rattles.

I got it out after I realized that those straps bolted to the floor need to be unbolted.

Does this mean that my right seat rattle/squeek is from these plastic bushings? can these be purchased?
