Removing RT Seat to install backrest

[vendit]

I am thinking about getting a Utopia backrest and was looking at my seat last night. How do you remove the seat to do the installation? I can see what I think are the bolts that need to be removed, but wondering how you get to them to remove?

It's a PITA. You'll need a 1/4" drive ratchet with a short extension.

Approach them from above, pushing the cushion out of the way to get better access. There are a couple of square holes back there under the saddle that will suck anything dropped into a black hole. Stick a rag in the holes before starting. Also, there are a couple of metal barrels that the bolts run through. They will fall out when you lift the saddle out. Keep track of them because they'll need to be reinstalled when you go back together.

Enjoy that Utopia!

Get the Utopia, I couldn't live without mine. Installation looks hard at first, but is not that bad. Getting the seat off and on is three quarters of the work.
