When you have made the commitment to upgrade to scheel-mann seats for your 2nd Gen Tacoma (or FJ Cruiser or 4th Gen 4Runner), the first step is of course removing the seats from the vehicle which you can see in the SEAT REMOVAL video above. Once the driver seat is out you now have to remove the hardware necessary to remove the two sliding rails needed to complete the install onto a Tolerance Stack mounting bracket for your scheel-mann Vario seat.
General steps:
• Lay the seat flat on a workbench
• Cut the hog rings holding the back panel/flap to the frame
• Remove the single screw in the rear
• Remove side panel plastic
• Remove the four T40 Torx screws on the inboard rail
• Remove the seat belt buckle and its bracket (save)
• Remove front two bolts to remove the front cross-member
• Remove the four T40 bolts on the outboard rail
• Access and remove the two bolts UNDER the fabric - either by prying up the material or by cutting slits into the material
• With those two bolts removed you can now remove the rails from the cross-member
• The inboard rail will still have the wiring harnesses, undo the retaining clips to remove the inboard rail
• Undo the rest of the harness clips and remove the wire harness connected to the seat belt and bracket
