Hello there! While the provided links don't offer specific instructions, I can certainly guide you through the process of taking apart a Lane reclining sofa, which is often necessary for moving it through tight spaces. It's usually a pretty straightforward task!
First, you'll want to tip the sofa forward so you can access the back. Look along the bottom edge of the back panel. You might find a strip of fabric attached with Velcro. If so, pull this flap up to expose the internal frame and mechanisms. If there's no flap, don't worry, you can still get the job done.
The key to removing the backrests is finding the release levers. For each reclining section, there is a metal track on both the left and right side where the back attaches to the base. On the outside of each of these tracks, you should find a small metal lever or a black clip. You may need to feel for it between the upholstery of the backrest and the armrest. Once you locate a lever, lift it up. While holding the lever up, you can then lift the entire back section straight up and off its mounting brackets. You'll need to do this for the lever on the other side of the same backrest, so it helps to have a second person.
If your sofa has a stationary center console or section, it often slides off in a similar way after the reclining end pieces are removed. Once all the back pieces are off, the sofa base is much smaller and lighter, making it significantly easier to move. Reassembly is just as simple: just align the brackets and slide the backrests down until you hear or feel them click securely into place.
