Default Front and rear seat replacement

Hi all had a rush of blood and hacw bought some leather seats, second hand for my 2005 Volvo S40. Replacing the rear seats seems simple enough, any tips for getting the back of the seats out. The front seat also looks simple enough with 4 bolts holding the seat in. Removal of the wires also looks straight forward. Any tips for removal of the seat belts?
Thanks

Not sure about the seatbelts but when taking the front seats out, make sure you disconnect the battery before hand. If you disconnect the wiring under the seat with the battery connected, you'll trigger an SRS airbag warning on the dash. Disconnect battery, install new seats and then reconnect battery. Will save lots of headaches in the long run.

Default SRS Airbag Warning

So changed all of my seat and all was looking good. Channged the back and passenger seat without any issues as needed to use the car this evening. Got back and decided to change the driver seat. Disconnected the battery and did the change. Up popped the SRS Airbag Warning. Have I not left the battery disconnected long enough before changing? I did notice on the driver seat the belt bolt was different to the passender side. When installing the new seat there was no wiring to connect to the bar the belt it attached to. Any ideas folks?
