Best to call Ranger they are exceptional with product support . I had the same problem with my 481 and you have to pry open the back of the bench seat along the side seams . The seam is held in place with velcro strips (pretty ingenious) and after opening the mounting brackets are exposed. They may still use the same style of bench seats?

I have removed the seat in my 99 519. There are 4 screws that held it in. They are under the small round black plactic caps, 1 in each corner, front and 1 in each corner rear/top. It took about 2 minutes to get it out with my cordless drill. Also, don't worry about breaking the plactic caps. They are super cheap and you get them at Lowes.
If your in Sacramento and need help let me know.

Thanks for the help GW and hydro. Piece of cake can't believe I didn't notice the screw caps. Alan
