Rear seat removal for a 560 SEL

Does anyone know how to remove the rear seat on a 1990 560 SEL. I am trying to get to the upper hydraulic shock mounts to replace the rubber bushings

i have an 86 560SEL. don't know if they are the same but on mine the bottom cushion is attached to the mechanism that moves the seat by a couple bolts on the lower front side of the seat cushion. on the metal part at the very bottom.

hope that helps a little

I haven't gotten a chance to look yet. I thought I might be able to find it on the CD service manual. I don't want to take the thing off the tracks though.

GRRRrrrr...this is supposed to be easy to do ...lol... I just can't seem to find the clips to remove the seat to get to the screws for removing the backrest....Well, it's the weekend so after a quick trip to the beerstore, it'll be time to piddle around in the garage and listen to some tunes until I get called in for movie time....hopefully I will have some time to get to this project this weekend...but first the rear disc rotors need to come off .... that's another PITA job !!!!
