removing bottom seat cover

I got the back removed but I'm having trouble with the bottom. I got the plastics clips unhooked but unlike the spring and hooks they have for the back, it's like a ring on the bottom. I might be able to bend the ring out of shape with pliers but I dunno if I would be able to bend it back together right when I put it back on later.

Is there a easier way or a DIY for this?

thanks.

The back seat? There's a bolt in the center back of it. You can get to it by going between the seat back and bottom. I think its a 10mm bolt. There's just 1, then just lift straight up and the pop clips should come loose.

Nope, sorry. All I ever had to do with the front seat is take it out of the car, no idea how to take it apart though.
What kind of ring is this? Is it one of those lock washer things on a bolt? If thats what it is, just cut it off and don't worry about it later.

its a hog ring that ties down the groves in the seat so i think you do need it if you want to keep the seat covers tight. I think i can bend it but its kinda hard to reach so it might be hard to bend it back to place when i put it back on.

It seems like there should be a easier way to do this. The seat back have the springs hooked to the other side so I can unhook it from there but I can't find anything useful on the other side of the seat bottom.
