How to Remove the Seat of a Lazy Boy Chair

La-Z-Boy chairs include seats that are fastened to the rest of the chair with bolts, which help to always keep the seat in place and not slide off. If you need to remove the seat cushion to repair or replace it, then you also must remove the spacer brushing parts on the swivel base bottom in order to fully remove the seat. It can also be helpful to remove the seat if you need to clean the inside of the chair or repair any other parts.
