    You will need hog ring pliers and a bag of hog rings. It's often a good idea to disconnect battery because of air bags. Disconnect wires under seat. Unbolt seat and remove. Turn upside down. Cut or bend open all the hog rings holding the seat base cover to the frame.
    Go slow and ease the cover off. Getting the cover to sit nice and tidy on the new base is the fun part. Allow lots of time and be prepared for cut fingersand a lot of swearing.
