Off topic, but anyone ever replace a seat cushion in their car/truck?

 

I have almost 100k on my trailblazer, she is still kicking along fine, but man I sat in the passengers seat the other day and its its like night and day compared to the worn out drivers side.   Found a OEM replacement cushion for $100 shipped on ebay and pulled the trigger.  I was googling around and found some crap instructions on how to do it, however I never removed upholstery before, it mentioned hog rings and hog ring pliers, so I ordered a cheap kit for 12 bux as well.  I'm guessing these go through the seat cover onto something metal to secure it.  Now getting them off I guess I can just use regular pliers? 

 

I'm guessing I'll just pull the whole drivers seat out of the truck and work from there.  Hopefully it wont be to difficult.

Did you try to YouTube it? Might be a video on how to do it.

Yeah, I checked the tube, I did find a few posts on people replacing their seat heater element (which I don't have), so it seems the same / similar process.
