Passenger seat won't fold forward?
 
96 extended cab with bucket seats. So I removed all of the rear seat assemblies in order to keep some work tools safe and dry, also so I can't have any more than 1 passenger because I'm not a taxi for coworkers. Anyway the driver's seat back folds all the way forward making it easy to access the back area, but the passenger seat won't fold. It will slide up and tilt a little bit but stops at about 90°.
I'm just wondering if the mechanism is broken or if it's not supposed to fold u.
I've been looking for anything online about it but can't find a clear answer. Thanks in advance

I couldn't find anything about the bucket seat fold mechanism in the 95 fsm. It just describes install and removal. There is a 96 fsm in the FAQ section if you want to download it and look through it.

Thanks, same for me. I came across a whole bunch of other issues with the seat backs though lol .
I finally took a few minutes to just take it apart and use my own eyes and turned out to be pretty simple. Just old jammed up springs and worn pieces, ground off a little bit and it's good to go 👍
