    Need to unhook the air, there's a way to.do.that involving draining all pressure and decoupling the connector, then take the bolts out holding the whole unit down. They are awkward and heavy, just so you know.

    I can't really describe disassembly and reassembly, that was long ago late one night when I needed to take the cushion off and replace it with the unworn one, the bases got changed at the lease shop, but they kept the same upholstered parts because those trucks, and these, were ordered without passenger side armrests.

    This one is still quiet at 260 k miles, the cushions aren't breaking down, either.
    The base in the 2018 squeaked pretty badly,for a long time. Switching seat bases cured that, and the twisting of the linkage.

    Ok, so you moved the whole seat and frame?
    That sounds a lot better than what I had

    Four bolts on bottom bracket are all that secure seat to floor. Other than that, just swap out female seat belt ends from left to right on each seat. The air lines must be disconnected from each seat and reconnected when seats are reinstalled. I didn't have tools for that so I cut both lines and installed air blower spigot thingy on each seat, just use hardware that comes with them. This all took me about 2 hours on my 17' Cascadia.

    I think it was a t40 or t50 torx head socket I used to swap seat belt ends. They were pretty tough to get started but came out with a 3/8" ratchet.

    Looks like a pipe. Just take them off and screw in the other side?
