Slide the seat back as far as it will go then release the lever on the side and it will flip up, fold and lay flat to gain acces into rear seats!

Yes of course you can remove the seat. There is a pull at the rear of the seat in the middle (down on the frame) The pull is a loop of material. You need to pull that up with solid force, this will release the lock so you can tilt your seat forwards. Once the seat is rotated forward enough, you will be able to lift the seat out.
I leave my seat out behind the drivers seat most of the time for easy access into the back and just putting stuff in the car. Also, the side clearance height is higher than the rear hatch height.

Ditto for me. My son accidently latched one of the rear latches but none of the others. We could not get it off. We found this answer and tried it and it worked. I lifted on the rear of the seat while he folded the back of the seat down. It released when we did this. Whew

Did you ever find a solution to this problem? I too am looking to convert to bench seat in middle row

On the front corner of your Acadia's middle row seats, you will notice a plastic covering - pull on it - the plastic pin holding it back will fall off, and you can then remove it. Now, the bolts that need to be removed to unmount the seat, are clearly visible.
Also, experts recommend that it would be best if the doors are removed to give enough space to manage the task. Removing the doors may take you about 10 to 15 minutes, whereas seat removal can take 20 to 25 minutes.

first fold them flat then pull the handle which will release the rear bottom brackets and allow you to pull back and lift the entire seat out of the van....both seats.

the middle seats come out easily. There are 2 handles you have to lift up on each of the bucket seats, they are in the front of the seat down by the seat tracks. After you lift them, tilt the seat upward in the front and rotate them backward. Then lift out of the hooks. Each seat is held down by 4 hoks.

The 3rd row seat is not designed to come out xcept by a technician. It does slide forward all the way up to the front seat. It has a sliding seat track.
First, lift the T handle under the seat cushion on the left front side of the seat. This will allow you to lift the seat bottom up all the way to lcok in the full up position.
Then, lift the lever on the same side of the seat and slide the seat forward. It will stop in 4 places.

6 inches forward of that.
