Hi DJ, though this video shows chairs with no upholstered backs, it may still provide you with some important info about how to go about redoing your side chairs. I hope it helps!

If you flip the chairs around, you should be able to see how the seats and backs are attached. You may have to pry away a cover to see. Just take the screws out and you can reupholster the pieces.

Hello,
Use a Hem un -picker tool Cheap and small but I find very useful!
This should be a pretty simple project! I outlined how to remove the frames on my Reupholster Chairs blog post.

Hello. How does the bottom underside of the chair look? Providing us a photograph it out might give us more information. Usually there are some sort of bolting mechanism holding the upholstered part to the chair. Some more investigation on the underside could be very helpful.
Thanks for responding! I'll take a look at your post and flip one of the chairs over to take a look-see. Had not occurred to me!
This will hopefully show you how to reupholster this kind of chair: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zbAin6bjEMM
