You  bet!  If you look closely at the bottom of the back seat, down  where the seat frame meets the floor, you'll find there are two places  where there's a slight opening between the seat frame and the floor --  one is sort of in the middle on the passenger side, one sort of in the  middle on the driver side.
  
  Pick one of those, get some leverage on the bottom of the seat frame  right there, and push HARD straight back.  Do this on both sides,  and then lift up on the front part of the seat bottom, and it will lift 
 right out.  You may have to push, pull, wiggle, and tug a bit to  find the right combination.
  
  The build sheet is probably tucked into the springs underneath the bottom of the seat cushon.
  
  Once you have the bottom part of the seat out, you'll see the two bolts  that hold in the top part of the seat.  If you're so inclined, you  can remove these two bolts and then lift up on that part of the seat,  and it will also come right out.
  
  Good luck!
  
  Elijah
