Taking apart 1972/3 standard seats

I am trying to take apart some 1972/1973 standard seats so I can refinish the metal side/hinge plates. The seatbacks are a no brainer. Just unscrew the four philips screws and they comes off. The seat bottoms are a bit trickier. I unscrewed the plates from them, but they seem to not want to come apart. I tried rolling around on the floor in tears, but still no luck. Does anyone know how to dismantle the seat bottoms from the metal hardware? Thanks for the advice.

No one have EVER taken apart a set of these seats to refinish the steel parts? C'mon guys... I need help! Please, someone, let me know how this is done. I can't seem to get the side plates disconnected. Thanks in advance for any help.

I can't tell from you're post what you're hung up on.
have you removed the connecting rod (911 521 045 02) that connects the right - left sidesplates?
if one side plate is at a different angle than the other, the connecting rod is under load and will make the removal very difficult.

do a search on that pn. Wayne has a nice parts diagram with all the bits and pieces.
