Allen,
It has been a while since I had mine off but as I recall you have to push straight in on the cushion and then push hard from the side at the same time. This will unhook one side and then you just pull from the same side you pushed from. I hope I am not confusing you. If I am give me a call at 925-932-5220 and I will talk you through it. They aren't hard to remove. Good luck.
