Removing front seat bases - 172

[Will16V]

I was just wondering if it is easy to remove the front seat bases from the back rest part of the seats?

I've got some newer seats for my 172 and they're in better condition than those currently in the car. However, the newer dirvers one has a very small cigarette burn on the base, I want to swap it with mine which is already in the car to get rid of the burn, which will look a bit better.

Is this an easy task, or am I asking for trouble by attempting this?

Ok, so I managed this by unclipping the bottom seat cover and removing it along with the foam base. Just need to swap it with the other seat and some hog ring pliers now to clip the old base back to the new seat.

Its definitely doable as I asked about it in the past.
