What's the easiest way to remove the seat on 2013 TriGlide?

Thanks for the help.

 

I open the tour-pak and get the little flap of a passenger back rest flipped up and out of the way and then use a real long philips screw driver.

 

Ditto the post above.

 

Yep, Thats what I do.

 

Being a woman, I have to get up in the seat to see down to where the screw is located, then use my fingers to hold it while I use a long phillips screw driver. That way I don't drop the screw, which has happened several times. Then I pull back on the seat while raising the tail end to lift the seat out if the front holder.

 

I took the Phillips screw out and replaced it with a thumb screw. No more need for a screw driver.

 

I just lift the flap and hold up with my head and use philips screw driver bit of a PIA but works. On my 2012 that flap is mounted on the bottom part of tour pack.

 

I use a ratcheting offset screwdriver.

And while you are holding the flap up with your head,,,, don't push on the tour pac lid tether cable ! SMARTS when the lid hits ya on top of the head !!
If you are like me you could damage the lid !

 

I made a replacement screw setup by using a long screw 2 nuts and a knurled handle on the end. See thread "Screwy Seat Screw" posted 01-01-2011. I posted some pic's of my mod.
