Front Seat Back Replacement

Removal Procedure






Important: Securely latch the seat back in the full forward position before removal. Using the following procedure:

1. Lift up on the seat back recliner handle in order to dump the seat back to the full forward position. This action will release the seat back recliner.

2. Pull back on the seat back without lifting the handle. The seat back recliner will latch the seat back into the full forward position.

Remove the J-retainer from the seat back cover.
1. Raise the seat back cover trim in order to gain access to the seat back recliner to seat back bolts (2).
2. Remove the one seat back recliner bolt, from each side of the seat back pad (1).
3. Remove the seat back (1) from the recliner mechanisms (3).

Installation






Important: Ensure that the alignment of the seat back frame and recliner is correct. Once the seat back holes are aligned with the seat back recliner holes, do not lean on the seat back. This action may cause the seat back to twist or misalign. Twists or misalignments may result in the failure of the seat back recliner system.

1. Install the seat back (1) to the seat back recliner mechanisms (3).

Notice: Refer to Fastener Notice in Service Precautions.

2. First, install the seat back recliner bolts (2) to the seat back.

Tighten the seat back recliner bolts (2) on the seat back to 3 N.m (27 lb in).
