Default sure. that's pretty labor intensive, too.

start by taking the seat out of the car. disassemble the 2 halves of the seat by removing the bolts at the pivot points on each side. then start remvoing fabric/leather.

for a guy like me it's frustrating. I much prefer working with a bolt going into a defined hole rather than trying to stretch fabric to the point it "looks" nice and then hook it over a sharp little tab.

best bet would be to practice on your fabric set or some junky ones at the junkyard and see what you're getting yourself into.
