My seats are in excellent condition since they have been covered w/sheepskin for 20 years and I have regularly applied a leather conditioner, so I don't think I could find a seat in the same condition. I'm not sure how the realease lever is attached but I think if I remove the hard plastic back cover, I can see what's involved. That link does a good job of explaining how to disassembly the seat, so I'll give it a try. If I didn't need to have the car inspected in NY, I'd just support the back until I had time to pull it out of the car.
