The seat runners have bolts at each end. Underneath the car you will see the corresponding nuts, 4 of them. It's usually easier and quicker to grind them off.

When you put it back, use stainless bolts and the old fashioned method of 2 plain nuts locked against each other rather than a nylock. Makes it a lot easier to undo in future!

I found that knocking a chisel about the same width as the inside of the runner down inside the runner flat over the bolt head held most of the bolts enough to undo them - there's a couple that aren't easy to get to to cut off. I then used a cheapo nut splitter on the couple that failed with the chisel.
