Remove the existing seat from the vehicle.
Remove the four (4) nuts that mount the seat track
slides to the riser. Do not throw away the four (4)
nuts since they will be reused.
The nuts are under the ledge on the riser.
Next remove the bucket seat and track slides from
the vehicle.
If your seat track slide is not attached to the riser
with nuts then it has bolts coming down through the
slide and into the riser. To remove the front bolts
slide the seat all the way forward and remove the
two bolts that attach the slider to the seat. Next slide
the seat all the way back and remove the two rear
bolts attaching the slider to the seat. Remove the
seat and then remove the slider from the riser.
Remove the old riser from the floor with a 9/16"
wrench and save the four bolts.
