Based on an analysis of the provided search results, the context is insufficient to furnish a detailed guide on the removal process. However, the procedure for removing the back of a La-Z-Boy recliner sofa generally follows a standardized mechanical design.
The disassembly process typically involves disengaging locking mechanisms located on the rear of the sofa. To access these, you may need to lift or peel back a fabric flap, which is often secured with a hook-and-loop fastener at the bottom of the sofa's backrest. Once this flap is moved, you should be able to see or feel two metal brackets, one on each side, that connect the backrest to the main body of the sofa.
On these brackets, you will find locking levers or clips. The most common mechanism requires these levers to be rotated to an unlocked position. This can often be accomplished by hand, but a flat-head screwdriver may be useful for leverage. By lifting or turning these levers, typically upwards, you release the backrest from the base. With both levers disengaged, the backrest can then be lifted straight up and off the sofa's frame. It is advisable to have a second person assist with lifting to ensure stability and prevent damage.
