Unfortunately, the two broken spring pieces are not easily accessible. I have to remove the seat from the frame. Just like you would have to do to replace the whole spring and seat pads.

That's the first place I looked. There is one tutorial in the DIY Articles but it doesn't help. It shows a 123 seat which is clearly different. There are no motors in the frame which was never removed.
Then there's this in the DIY Links section:

The link to Dieselgiants tutorial doesn't even show the seat removed at all. But one person did say it could be done but never said how.

That's as far as it goes and before the thread dies.
