Headrest Removal Tool
Tracy Fort tlfort@altavista.com
Introduction
The tool is easy to use. I fashioned mine out of .040 Aluminum eventhough the drawing calls for thinner spring steel. I would not go any thicker than that because it would be too hard to slide the tool down into the seat. There is just not enough clearance and the tool has to remain somewhat fexible.
Procedure
Begin by lifting the headrest as high as it will go.
  • Next, insert the tool down into the seat from the front side of the headrest.

  • Insert it appx 4 and 1/2 inches.

  • After the tool is in push the headrest down slightly and push the toll in a little more.

  • Pull up on the headrest it it should come right out. Watch out though mine came flying out and landed in the backseat!

Below is a diagram of the tool:
