If I remember rightly you push the headrest to the right (looking from the front of the seat) and lift up.......

Default Another method

If it won't come out as described above (mine didn't), pull the seat back panel off and you can get right to the clip that holds it in the seat.

I broke my BFH changing the heater core! But it is all tucked away nicely and working well.

hoping this will help close out the question. I just removed mine a couple of minutes ago. I'm completely rebuilding my seats. Standing behind the seat (it's on the ground), pull the headrest out until you hit the stop, tilt the headrest to the right, it will only move a degree or two. This will allow a tab at the right bottom of the chrome shaft to drop into the rail that the chrome shaft slides in. You're compressing a piece of spring steel in the rail that pushes the chrome shaft to the right that keeps the tab at the bottom right of the chrome shaft from dropping into the rail. Once the tab clears the opening in the rail it was previouly sticking out of, the headrest assembly will slide out.
