If you dont have an amp screwed into the back seats, I find it easier to remove the seat backs first, it makes hunting for those 10mm and taking out the rest easier. The best way i can describe to manage the S-hooks is pull the seat towards you, then as you lift push way from you, then bring it back towards you and it will come out. The 1st time's always the hardest. Once you figure it out, it's one of the simplest things to take apart.
