How do I remove the rear upper and lower seats on a 53 Corsair?

The bench is removed by pushing back on the bottom front edge of it to unhook it from the clips, then lift it up and out.  When you  have the bench out there are two bolts along the bottom of the seat back that need to be removed and then it lifts up off the hooks that hold it at the top. There may be some metal tabs that need to be bent open when removing the back as well. Unfortunately when I did it last I did not take photos as I did with just about everything since.

Thanks Fid, I suspected that was the way, as most NA cars were done but I did not want to damage anything until I was sure, Henry.
