middle row seat not latching down

[kd5ibr]

The driver's side middle row seat will not latch down. I found the problem is a disconnected or broken spring. (green sleeve on photo). I cannot figure out how to remove the cover to access the spring. Any help would be great.[attachment=0]20230926_102037.jpg

Starting on page SE-103, the details of removing this are mapped out in this section of the factory service manual. https://www.nicoclub.com/service-manual ... 5%2Fse.pdf
