Remove: 

• the four side pieces over the screws for the seat. Pull the front side pieces straight forward and the rear side pieces backwards and upwards to detach them
• four screws.

• the side panel. See SIDE PANEL, REPLACING 
• the seat belt from the seat
• the connector.

Disconnect any remaining connectors.

Remove the seat.

To prevent electric static discharge problems: 

When removing a seat with a SIPS (side impact protection system) module from a car, the seat must be grounded. This is due to the danger of static electricity.

Detach the chair from its screwed joint. Do not  lift the seat out of the car yet.

Strip a long cable at both ends. Secure one end to the rear mounting on the chair. Secure the other end in the car or in the car hoist.
