Hello my fellow bus owners. I need some help! I'm having a hard time removing the drivers seat frame. My bus does not have any padding on the seat frames so I just have the frame, springs, etc. How do you remove it? Any suggestions?

Sorry busdaddy! Remove the seat frame from the seat rails. I have a walk through bus and on the drivers side I can't get it off to the seat rails. I want to re-upholster it, but I'm having a hard time removing it. It seems as though it slides out of the seat rails, but I'm not too sure.

there should be a knob in front of the seat pull up on it to release the seat then push it forward

sometimes they are very sticky so if it doesn't move spray some WD-40 or PB blaster on it and the rails

Got it!! Thanks guys! I had to take a small wood block and line it up on the back part of the frame and hammer it out. I used WD-40 also.
