Thx. Just finished freeing up the adjuster.
The seat pan has to at least come loose to get the footrest out. The footrest needs just a little too much room to maneuver it off of the frame. Removing the seat pan provides that room.
After the bolts are removed that attach the footrest to the frame and sweatpants, it's only another 3 bolts to remove the seat pan. Two at the back of the seat sliders and one that holds the fuel tank support to the fuel tank on the left grab handle.
If you are just loose ending the seat pan you may not have to unplug the seat and light connector, but I did.
The only drama to the job was the one speednut whose flange broke. Oh, and make it easier for yourself and jack up the rear end, properly support, and remove the rear wheels. It makes getting the bolts from the foot pan to the seat pan a lot easier to remove.
