You probably need to find an upholsterer with gray hair!

Done many of them, lost count.  Tell me what part, in particular, concerns him? and I'll walk you through it. I got plenty gray hair LOL

He wants to know how the sides come off above adjuster  if you could give me information I could pass it along,he said it looked like he would have to take covers off back to get to bolts that backs swivel on. He was hoping not to have to take completely apart thanks Steve

Steve Passmore

The sides that I think you're referring to do not come off at all. Once the seat base cushion has been removed the bolts holding the swiveling seat backs is clearly visible where it swivels on the outside of the seat frame. One round slot headed bolt on each outside only. The centers are held together with a nut and bolt through two "ears" sticking up from the frame base. Each seat back them comes out separately.
It could be that they have been re-trimmed at some time and covered the slotted bolts. These should be left clear of trim for removal.
