I can’t seem to figure out how to remove the seat bottom. I “thought” you simply pulled up to remove the bottom / base of the seat, but mine is not budging. Before I apply excess force and possibly break or bend something, I wanted to make sure this was correct. Simply, how do I remove an original seat from a 46 AK?

Try lifting up on the back while pulling up on front edge of seat. Underside of seat frame has a few holes ( allows adjustment ) Metal frame around gas tank supports 4 brackets with raised pins to position seat.

This information was very helpful, although I still can’t get the seat to come lose. It’s obviously connected at the back, where the seat bottom joins the back, as you guys had said. But I still can’t get it to come lose. I’ll try again later
