Has anyone removed either seat? How difficult is it to disconnect the pnuematic line...and then correctly reconnect it? Any tricks/hints to make this job easier? Thanks!

I've done it a couple of times. It's straight-forward. The pneumatic line is easy to plug. I used a tiny bolt and tape.

A few things to keep in mind:

• If you turn on you ignition with the seat removed it will trigger the SRS light on the dash. The SRS light can only be reset using Star Diagnostics.
• You'll want to take care with the electrical connectors. They are pretty frail and won't tolerate a lot of abuse.
• The seat itself is pretty heavy, maybe 80-100 lbs. It's possible to lift it solo but would be easier with two people.

Agree that the seat is extremely heavy - the seat belt is anchored to it so that the frame has to be strong enough to transmit the forces to the floor. You need to be careful getting the seat out without scratching the trim.

You need to use the correct TORX socket and (IIRC) the front ones are difficult to get at. Then there are the plastic rail covers at each end, 4 in all, which break if you so much as look at them. The quality is shocking.

The cable loom forms a loop which folds/unfolds around a circular guide as the seat moves back and forwards.

yes jmf and blue sl covered it pretty well

as they said i would absolutely have someone help you with pulling the seat out just because its awkward

i personally dropped the top and had the door wide open and had a friend stand on the outside while i was on the inside to make sure that no trim got scratched

becareful and as they said dont turn on the key without all the connectors hooked up

honestly if you have mechanical competence it will be pretty easy just time consuming
and as they said take care with the connectors they are really easy to break
