What sort of clips, where exactly and how did you reach and release them?

As mentioned previously, there are three clips towards the front of the bench which just release when lifted.

Then at the back of the bench, there are two hooks, one on each side of the bench. It's quite tricky to unlatch them. You need to press down on the rear of the bench whilst pulling forwards. This then unlatches the bench and it can be lifted out.

To release the uprights, you need to first of all release a small multi cable wiring plug on each side of the floor under the rear bench. These are connected to the uprights. Once these have been released, there is one 16mm bolt holding the bottom of the uprights in place on each side. Release this bolt, lift the upwards and out.
