1963r2 Posted August 7, 2022 Report Share Posted August 7, 2022 From memory you lift the bottom section up at the front and that should release that section. That should expose the bottom of the top section and there should be 2 screws to undo. Once undone lift the top section up and it should release.

John Brissette Posted August 8, 2022 Report Share Posted August 8, 2022 (edited) It has been years since I removed the back seat, but I recall that removing the upper portion is done as previously stated ,by removing the two bolts at the bottom of the upper portion, and then you slide the back cushion DOWN, to free it from the the two metal clips that secure the upper portion of the back seat to the the panel between the gas tank and the upper portion of the back seat.

1963r2 Posted August 9, 2022 Report Share Posted August 9, 2022 You could be right John. I haven't removed the seat in a while. Maybe Richard will let us know if it is up or down. Pb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John C Posted August 9, 2022 Report Share Posted August 9, 2022 The fun begins after the seat is removed. If memory serves me well there are 28 screws to remove the fiberglass panel behind the seat. Normally some of the Rivnuts have pulled out of the fiberglass and will need repair. John C. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gunslinger Posted August 9, 2022 Report Share Posted August 9, 2022 If the panel between the seat and gas tank has never been removed there should be sealer slathered over the screws and edges of the panel that will be fun to scrape off to get the panel removed.

Mel Posted August 13, 2022 Report Share Posted August 13, 2022 While replacing my sending unit, I also put some sound deadening material under the seat and behind the back lean. Really seemed to help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
