Help! How do i remove the bottom rear bench in my EJ9?

[ek888]

How do i remove the bottom bench on my EJ9? i have already removed the 2 folding seats and have removed the one bolt at the back of the rear bottom bench. the only thing that is holding the bottom bench now is two hooks one on each side near the front on of the rear bench. I tried yanking it up but it doesn't want to come out, am i doing it wrong? is there a speacial technique on how to pull the bottom bench out of these two hooks. Your advice is much appreciated.

if you have the bolt out at the rear then its just a matter of lifting up the rear of the bench and waggling the seat until it comes out. the two hooks at the front are zig zag shaped and just need a bit of movement to release.

I manage to pull the bottom seat out after a long struggle trying yank the 2 hooks outs, no wonder it was hard to pull out, the socket has two bits sticking out in the inside. Finally i can now complete my DC2 seat installation.
