Question Rear seat removal - W140

The vacuum pump "needs so help".

Please suggest how I remove the rear seat to get to the pump that helps with the door locks and truck lock - which seems to be under the rear seat.

Only trouble is the rear seat has heaters (wires) and is adjustable - motor to move it up and down.

I've looked, but didn't see any "clips to just pop the seat out.

Your guidance and suggests on how to remove the rear seat of a 1993 500SEL, with heated seats and power adjustable rear seats is appreciated.

Thanks much

I believe this is covered in the manual. Is this a bench seat? If so on the bottom of the seat, look along the edge and there are a tab on each side that unlatchs the front of the seat from a set of latchs. The seat can be lifted up at the front and pulled slowly forward. The two seat heaters wires are connected thru a junction plug which is snapped into a holder just under the edge of the seat back. You remove the plug from the holder and disconnect to disconnect the wiring. Be careful not to damage/rip out the wires

If this is a two bucket seat setup, then I have no idea.

Replacement means positioning the seat, reconnecting the wires, placing plugs back in holders, ensuring rear latch/pins engage and slide back push down to engage the locking tabs on the front edge.

I'll note my dealer never did this when they resold the car to me, so I found quite a collection of coins under the seat.
