I've done this on 86-87 style seats a couple times. The parts should be the same for the 77 seats but that is two generations of seat design back, so I apologize if there's a difference.
The first thing is to get the knob off. The center pops out after a little prying with a tiny screwdriver, and maybe some cursing. The cursing may continue while you get the retaining washer out of the center of the knob. It's got 4 fingers in the middle that lock down against the square shaft. You'll need the small scrwedriver again or better yet a hook to bend one or more of those fingers back. Then the retaining washer and knob pull off the shaft.
After that, if I remember right, you pull the shaft out of both seat pivots. The crossbar is splined to both so they rotate together. I think you'll have to have one pivot unbolted from the frame completely. You'll see once you have the seat this far apart.
I was able to rebuild my seats with an evening's work in my living room. You should have similar success.
