Just went through some of this myself, the back is not too bad, hardest part is getting the port side cup holder out without breaking it. (I failed at this)
Someone had pulled the bottom out on my boat previously and had not replaced the bolts. I find this to be very helpful and did not correct it. The bottom stays put just fine and I never would have suspected it to have been unbolted. I don't even remember why i thought to try pulling up on it. I would try pulling up on it maybe you will get lucky like me!
