on an ultra, there is a screw at the back of the seat that screws into the the top of back fender. Remove this screw and pull the seat up from the back and slide seat back to release the front clip. Not sure on what type of bike you have

As far as I know that is how ALL Harley seats are removed. Look at the back of the seat, there should be some kind of screw of nut holding the seat to the fender. That and a "clip" on the front under the seat hold it on.

Depending on how new the corbin seat is there might be a key slot on the side you will need the key to unlock the seat then it pulls up of a post. you will need to remove that post to put the factory seat on and possibly the threaded insert as well. Otherwise it is how they said and there should be a screw/bolt at the back of the seat. It may look like a knurled **** or even be a pin but that is the only 2 ways I know of, unless its one of them tiny solo seats that just has a couple suction cups holding it on.
