Changing seat cover and what to do about the bolt/fastener

Just wondering how to get that bolt off of the seat so I can change the cover? Do you have to get the washer off somehow? seems like the bolt/fastener is 1 solid piece.....
thanks

Pop the washer off the bottom and the bolt will slide right out. I've done it several times without ever a problem. Good luck!

What he said! Assuming you have the Dzus fastener with a plastic washer like mine, the washer is a tight fit as it's meant to stay on the fastener and stop it dropping out of the seat when the seat's off but if you work at it the washer will slide down off the end of the fastener then you can pull the fastener itself out of the seat (again it's a tight fit but it will pull through the hole).

It's worth considering putting a very thin plastic washer higher up the fastener before you refit it so that this washer sits on top of the seat instead of underneath as the original one does. Some people have found that it screws up the seat cover when you tighten the fastener, and having a slippery washer between the top of the fastener and the seat cover lets the fastener turn without taking the cover with it. The original washer goes back underneath the seat in the same place it came from, so you have one washer either side. The only problem I found was that it can make it hard to get the fastener to lock as you can't quite push it in far enough - I cured that by finding a thinner plastic washer to replace the one under the seat.

So is the new cover going to have lots of nice fancy graphics on it?

Thansk for the advice guys!! This forum rulez!
Yes I got some new graphics too, custom made Italian ones from my buddy at JJW designs, I will post full before/after pics, once I have it done which should be by Saturday. Thanks again!

He meant to say where the Dzus fastener goes.......
