Success, I have managed to get the rear seat entry release handle off the front seat and the seat back is removed.
I wedged the side of the seat away from the frame so that I could slide the spring steel cylinder over to reveal the clip slot. I thought the clip was going to be difficult to remove but I was easily able to slide it off and then the handle pulled straight out. As the handle shaft has a tapered end on it, all I think I have to do to get the handle back on is to replace the clip in its slot, slip the spring cylinder back over it to hold it in place and when I have the seat back back on, push the handle back in until the clip clicks into place.
All the yellow crumbly stuff on view is the decayed remains of either seat padding or the foam in the composite velour material.
Cheers, Ken
