It's rediculously easy.

Your rear seat cusion (where your butt goes) simply pops out of the car. There are two clips you have to press down to get it out. The clips are located just under the front edge of the cushion, one on each side. Push them and then pop the cushion out. You will then be able to see the bolts which hold in the seat belts, the hinges for the seat backs, and so on.

From what I've read it's not really worth the trouble. Maybe 15lbs including belts??

I've also heard you may get alot of extra noise from the drifeshaft and rear end. Not to mention heat. My opinion: Unless you are really gonna drag the car its not worth it.

you trying to shed the weight or just like the look better of no rear seat? Are you installing a rear seat delete panel?

It is MUCH more than 15 lbs.

The seat cushions are about 10-15 lbs...but the belts are heavy. It's a hair under 50 lbs if you remove everything: seat cushions, belts, and child-seat mount brackets. The belt retract mechanisms are very heavy.
