Thanks for the reply. I finally bit the bullet and followed my tuition and removed the seat back. Yes, I am sure I could have removed the whole seat assembly as you suggested but you can just remove the seat back cushion without removing the whole seat. Look under the seat back cushion (bottom) and you will see two screws, one on either side that go through a couple of wire brackets and into the seat frame. Remove these screws. Then you will see four metal brackets that are part of the seat frame. I was able to spring the brackets away from the cushion spring frame with a wide blade screwdriver. Once the seat back is loose from the clips and the screws, the back can be pushed down to remove it from the upper brackets and the seat back can be removed. The upper brackets look like three 10penny nails that actually puncture the seat back material and hold the seat back cushion frame to the overall seat frame.

Replace the seat back in reverse order.
