If you search there was a thread a few years ago with tons of pictures. I can't remember who posted it, but they removed the cover, Drew on what they wanted to shave off and used and electric carving knife to shave the foam. then they recovered it and stapled the cover back in place. Seems like it can't be too difficult.
