Default Leather Seat Cover Install Question

I'm getting ready to install a leather interior kit. I'm wondering what's involved in getting the armrests off of the bucket seats? The rest of it looks pretty str8 forward....anybody got any tips or suggestions before I get started. The kit is here, and it looks great, but I'm not sure when I'll actually get it on as I also got a 6.0L sitting here and a garage project that is about part done and .....well you get the idea. Thanks in advance.

c' mon someone walk us through these seats. Is there any things that you learned from doing your seats tips, tricks? I was wonderin how the hell you get the head rests off. I am in the same stage as badmofo, got the parts just waiting on a few q&a's first.
so if you covered yours (and they look good) class is in sesion.

The armrest are held in by a clip, use a long screwdriver and pop it off.

My truck does not have read rest but here is what my manual tells me.

Headrest Removal Procedue

1) Raise the head restraint to the full up position.
2) Insert a paper clip or a similar tool in the hole at the side edges of the head restraint retainers.
3) Press in on the tool in order to release the retainer clips.
4) Lift the head restraint form the retainers.

Sorry, I just saw this. I bought the kit off of Ebay for $229 + $65 shipping. It really looks GREAT! If you buy one direct from Katzkin, I think there are some online coupons floating around. I'd start a new post and see if anyone replies with a coupon. They were for $25 and $50 off.
