Can anyone think of how I can pull the middle seat belt out.

you need to remove the seat that it is stuck behind. if the seat is not power it should have quick release tabs on both front corners release those then pull seat cussion up and forward then there might be small screws holding back rest in remove them and push up on the bottom of seat so it slides up the rear deck pull seat belt out and reinstall:smile

^^thank you my dear! It is power but like you said had two quick releases in the front corners. There armrest two screws at the bottom but they are the torques/star (??) type of screw, I'll have to go to Sears tomorrow and get a set, sigh I'll have to go tool shopping ......YEAH!!!

Ok, I'm stuck, literally. I got the bottom cushion off, two bolts at the base of the back.

Buuuut when pushing up to slide the back off....it won't budge. I'm pushing up at a the same angle that the seats are leaned perhaps 95 to 110 degrees.

Ok, so I put the seat back in the full upright position (mostly so I could clean back there) and the bottom of the back rest popped out, but the top eludes me. I can see these clips

They are where your shoulder blades would go. But can't figure out how to undo them.

most seat backs are only mounted with bolts at bottom and the top is just slide clip. i dont have any in the shop right now but if i get one in this week i will pop back seat up and take a look.

looks like you need a place that has more sunshine like nor cal:smile
this winter never got here we only had rain twice this winter and now the trees are blooming. i have been able to ride almost every day since last may:grin
good to see women out there that enjoy riding and working on there vehicles. my wife rides too she rides a fatboy and not just me:devil

1. Thanks for looking, I am going to take a Sauvignon Blanc break, it's cold. I'm going to hunt around the net too and see what I can find out.
2. Awesome you and your wife ride!
3. You suck for mentioning that you are still riding lol.

might have found something there might be two bolts at the top sides of the seat. remove the center arm rest trim and remove the side trim panel between seat and body there is one bolt on each side top aprox three inches down from top

Thank you both, will give a try this weekend.

Done! All I had to do was lift the top center cushion, undo a bolt and slide it out. Then put back together all the stuff I had un-necessarily pulled apart lol.
