EVO 8 Rear Seat removal

I'm going tomorrow to pick up a set of rear seats from a 2003 Lancer Evolution. I've removed alot of rear seats from other cars but are there any special tips or tricks or tools needed to remove them?

I believe there's a hex bolt you need to undo, don't quote me on that though. The front part of the seats have tabs you pull up but the rears are a little more difficult.

I just looked and they're not hexed but I'm not sure of the size, I'll go look again and let you know what size the bolts are.

to remove the rear seats you have a tab to remove the bottom. that will then expose the three bolts you have to remove to take the back part of the seat off. After removing the three bolts lift the back part up and that will unhook them. Then wiggle them out past the seat belts.

I was wondering this too. I might take mine out to get the tops of the rear seats restored because they are starting to fade. Damn you Sun!
