   you will need a T40 torx bit and a rachet, unscrew the 4 bolts and tilt the seat forward. the airbag wire will just unclip and you will be able to take the seat out. some people suggest disconnecting the battery for ten mins to make sure the airbag wont go off. however, i have changed a full interior with the battery connected and nothing happened to me. just make sure that you connect everything back up correctly
