the back seats are no big deal. theres two brackets holding the back part of them and the bottom part there are two tabs you pull on to release it. never removed the front seats though. for the back you just need a 12mm socket or wrench for the bolts, im pretty sure theres only three bolts you have to remove off the back rest of the back seats

Yes they are 14mm. You may have to adjust the seats to get at some of the bolts but it's not hard. Be careful with the seats, the drivers one is heeeeavvvvyyy!

Sure, this is passenger side.

Left two holes,

Right two,

And bolt examples.

Hope it helps.

Oh yeah that bar thing in the first pic goes through the seat belt latch iirc. You have to make sure the seat is free from it before completely removing the seat from the car.

If you mean putting the passenger seat where the driver's seat goes... technically.. yes. I did it for some noob weight reduction when I first got the car.

Things to note:
While it does fit, the seat will be slightly to the left, it will touch the door panel, but the door will still close

You will have to move the seatbelt holder since now it's on the wrong side. There is a bolt hole along the transmission tunnel that fits nicely if done right, but you will have to angle it up a bit and it will be farther back/down than normal.
