My back seat rotates forward on a piano hinge on the front of the seat , other then the piano hinge there is nothing other then gravity holding the back bench seat down, when I change my impeller I set a 5 gallon bucket under the back seat to give me room to lay down and do the work, not sure it helps since you have a 182 though
