get one screw driver to take out the staples then a pen to mark out where to cut the foam try not to cut to much out cause the foam is pretty soft and u ll have no seat if u take out heaps get a good knife to cut the foam and a grind or sand paper to clean it up

i wouldnt recomend it. coz when you start riding it flattens out and gets alot smaller and if you cut it you will be riding the frame.
