Need to have them redone, how do you safety remove them?
TIA,
 
Use your fingers on the mesh on the bottom and you will likely find some small holes. Up inside these are the screws that hold the bolsters in place. Once these are removed, you can lift the bolsters vertically off the bent SS supports.
 
I normally insert a philips screwdriver in the holes underneath and fish fir the screws , they are on a 45 to 60 degree angle when you find one the others are easier as you get to know where they are located. As others said once the screws are removed you lift the bolster upwards , the seat on J hooks.
