RE: head restraints

[enzeder@ix.netcom.com]

I removed the springs (metal fasteners) one at a time using two small screwdrivers.  One to push the open end and the other to pull once I got it part 
way out.  Two things, be careful of the seat material ( worried about gouging the leather) and they are springs so they will try to escape you.

Once the springs are removed the headrest slides right out, I then replaced the springs so I wouldn't lose them.
