How to remove seat back for repair?

Hi all,

I've got a 1994 E36 318is and the driver's side seat release has failed (probably a broken cable).

Any idea how to remove the seat back to gain access to the seat's inner workings?

I've searched the web site and haven't been able to find a thing on this topic (the search engine isn't very good).

Thanks in advance.

Hmm, I though I tried that a while back and didn't see any screws... I'll take a look again.
