It doesnt take a lot of pressure. Then you'll know what I mean about how light they are! Once the backs are removed, I think there is a tab on the bottom cushion near the edge or middle of each one and you either pull it out and lift or use the tab to pop them out. Again - extremely light.

Just a little correction there since I just recently had to remove mine. First you remove the bottom part by pressing 2 tabs (1 on driver's and 1 on passenger's sides) and pulling the bottom part up. Then for the back part of it you're going to see 3 screws at the bottom where the bottom part of the seat was (2 on the sides and 1 in the middle)-- they are either 12mm or 14mm. After you remove those just unlock the top part of the back on each side and remove them. The things are about 20 lbs and reading description at http://www.americanmuscle.com/seat-delete-kit-05.html where it says "Remove up to 40 pounds" just makes me laugh because of how misinformative that part is.

Man, you need to remove that factory dampener stuff they smear all over the place. I chipped a bit out of my trunk when ironically i was putting in sound deadener and id bet you could shave off a good 10 lbs. That stuff was all over the place and somewhat thick in places.
