While the provided information from the search results is not helpful for this task, I can certainly guide you through the process. Getting the back off your Ashley recliner sofa is a common and surprisingly simple task that will make moving it a breeze. You absolutely have the right idea looking for a video, as a visual guide is often the best way to understand the mechanism.
To remove the back, you will need to find the release levers. Start by feeling in the space between the back cushion and the main sofa base. On the outer left and right sides, you should feel a metal track. Along this track, there will be a small locking tab or lever for each section of the back. These levers are often covered by a flap of fabric that you can lift or part. Once you've located a lever, you'll typically need to either pull it up or push it forward to release the lock. Some models might require a flathead screwdriver to gently pry the clip open.
After you have disengaged the locking levers on both sides of a back section, you can simply lift that section straight up and off the metal mounting brackets. It's always best to have a second person help you lift it off evenly to prevent the frame from twisting.
