Sit in the driver's seat with a long, flat-bladed screwdriver. Put the tip
of the screwdriver between the shift tunnel and the seat so it presses on
the seat rail. You want the tip to be about 2" or 3" in from the front of
the seat rail. There is a single metal leaf spring that keeps the seat from
moving forward and off the rail. By pushing down on the spring and scooting
the seat forward the seat will slide over the spring. Then get behind the
seat and push it all the way forward and off its rails. Just make sure the
carpet isn't in the way of the seats rail otherwise it will keep the seat
from going forward and forcing it just rips the carpet (Bigger Hammer
Theory, trust me, it don't work).
The passenger side is the same but the spring is on the left side (tunnel
side, again).
Hope this diagram helps...
