Captains seat assembly diagrams?

I'm looking to retrim my front seats which will mean taking them apart. I've trawled wiki, and various topics but can't find any diagrams or guides.
Does anyone have a link to a detailed diagram or guide?
My main concern is how to separate the back from the base, it seems to be spring-loaded as part of the recliner mechanism. I can see springs flying everywhere if I just go in and start taking it apart. I can probably figure out the rest of the process myself.

The Bentley manual has basic diagram and descriptions, it can be a bit tricky to do but there wont be any springs flying about. ive done it a few times including full retrim with ready made covers and was a bit stressful. I could give you the description as stated in the manual if you cant find it. What sort of retrim are you doing, are you keeping it original ?

I'm looking to use the kit from Newton Commercial. I've just fitted a set of their door cards and i'm pleased with the quality.
