are you trying to remove the bottom portion? If you are it's pretty easy.
Pull up on the part of the seat where it meets the seat back. Push the front of the seat bottom towards the back of the car, and it lifts out.
As for the seat backs, there are bolts holding them to brackets.

You have bolts on your backrests? hmmm We have little black clips, you just slide them off, push the seat toward the interior plastics and it should come right out. As for the bolt holding down the cushion, it should be a 10mm or something like that.

Honestly, it isn't hard.
First, put the back seats back down. Remove the back carpet by taking off the black clips along the edge. Once those are off, you will see the metals and look at the bottom, you will see plates bolted on the left the right on both back rests.
Remove these bolts. Don't ask me how many, there are all visible once the back carpet is off. If you can count, then you will know how many there are. Once the bolts are off, the back rest will come right off.
You should see a little triangle piece sticking up with a hole in it, that's the centre piece of the back rests, it is welded to the car.
Now look at the back of the cushion, remove any visible bolts you see. This inclues the beat belt buckles for the back passengers.
The front of the cushion is "clipped" down. It has "U" shape metal pin that tucks into the grooves along that huge metal piece below the B-pillars. Once those bolts in the back are gone, just pull the cushions from the front and lift.
That's it.
