Fat Boy 2006 Saddle problems

I have loosen the rearscrew and the two on the side of the saddle (The three screws with a little springcoil). According to the manual it should be enough to get the saddle of, by sliding it back
But it´s like it is glued to the bike.

What have I forgotten?

Sincerely,

T

Try putting your fingers underneath and pulling OUTWARDS on both sides of the seat where the screws are.

This should release it.

Tried that.. Does not release the saddle.
What I herd is to put pressure in a down/back direction by hitting the saddle with the hand.
I´ll try that tonight...

The saddle is still rock solid.

Problem solved. Used a kitchen wooden spoon.... Gently, gently at the side of the leftside attachement. Pop! Saddle loose and off!

+1. Usually have to hit mine on one side to get it dislodged, pops off then. Not sure what hangs it up - but it does get hung up most of the time... Definitely make sure the screws are unscrewed completely and that you can pull the sides out from the fasteners first.
