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.
