Now that is an excellent site with almost complete information. The only
information not included is for newcomers like me who did not know about the
little spring on the left of the driver's seat you need to pull up (with the
seat latch) to get the seat out. But I need 3 hands to do this or a friend
to help.

This email is a keeper. What an excellent link. Thank you.
