To remove the base, just lift it up with a sharp pull at the front, and it will then come of out the clips, then with a long peice of wood, just push on the back springs and it will come off.

To remove the back, the pull seat forward, and remove the side bolsters, then using a long strong screwdriver. wedge it in and pull the screwdriver towards you, and the back should pop out, need to do it on both sides, I did it recentlyy, and did not even damage the white plastic clips. Have know done it on both cars without a problem

Hope this helps

I pull up at each end at the front, then push the rear of the seat towards the boot while pulling up. To remove it completely you'll need to remove the seat belt.
