Hi Jeff,

        I see you have clear answers on how to figure out the little locking tab and the seat will then slide off.

I noticed you said you already removed the 4 bolts on the center round piece but Can’t get the latch off.

If memory serves I would not try to remove the round piece until the seat is completely off.  Then remove the four bolts and lift up on the round  Piece.  I believe I then tilt mind to the side to slide out that long metal latch that sticks out the front. If I remember I lift up on the disk, slide the metal latch back and out of the slot, then tilt the disk to the side.  this changes the angle of the metal hook and it slides through the slot.  You and then clean and lube easily.

I hope I remember correctly.
