Anybody removed front and/or rear seats?

I need to buy and install new seat belt retractors (buckles). So that airbag lights will go away. So I was wondering how to remove seats to get to buckles. Thanks in advance.

its easy dude!! raise the seat up as high as it will go!! remove the bolts!! just dont start the car w the seats disconnected! the back is push to the rear of the car and pull up for the bottom bench i think!!! but u shouldnt have to change all of them! if u get a print out at the dealer they'll tell u which one is shot! i dont think u need to change all four do u?

Yeah the back seat just lifts up with a tug from the front-bottom.

Is the car out of warrantee already?

If not, have the dealer fix the issue.

Thanks for replies guys. To be exact dealer charged me $1551.83 for the problem to be fixed. If I would buy and install them myself dealer told me he would clear faults for free since I done a lot of work at their dealership. So he told me to change all four buckles, two front, two rear. BTW two of the rear buckes share same connector, took me a while to figure that out. I though five people in car and why changing only four buckles? Anyway are you guys sure he should have told me which one exactly to cjange? He told all four
