It is time consuming, but do-able. I stripped my drivers seat on the C70 last winter to cure the slide and tilt mechanism that was intermittently difficult to use. It turned out all it needed was a little lube in the right place, but finding 'the right place' meant taking the leather covers off. Attachments show the seat stripped and also the finished seat. No need to disturb the airbag.
