Look an your enemy, analyze it, know it better than you know yourself. This is the first time ive worked on the internals of any car seat, so bear with me. I also wont tell you how to take out your seat. Its pretty self explanitory.

Now, there should be 8 silver bolts total and 4 black bolts near the back of the seat. There are 2 silver bolts on the front right, 2 on the front left, etc.

The blue is the black bolts and the red is the silver bolts. You should be able to find them easily
