Special tools, testers and auxiliary items required

• Trim Removal Wedge (RMCP101)

Removing

- Fold the seat into the floor.

- Fold all of the second and third row seats into the floor.

- Remove the rear seat to floor carpet cover by disengaging the clips, starting from the inboard clip and working towards the outboard clip.






- Place the 2 trim removal wedges (RMCP101), in each leg as shown to keep the legs from folding out of the seat (1).






- Rotate the seat up to approximately a 20 to 45° angle (1) so that the tension is removed from the spring (2) and cable.






- Using locking needle nose pliers (1), remove the spring from the floor attaching bracket (3). Once the bracket end is loose, remove the spring from the cable end. Continue holding the cable end. The seat must remain at the 20 to 45° angle (2) and the leg on the outboard side of the seat must be held down to keep slack in the cable.

Installing
