Drive cable on drivers seat fore/aft motor broke and now when you try to move the seat forward only the left track moves until it binds up because the right side doesn't move.

Here is my problem, I have a replacement motor in hand but I cannot move the seat forward enough to get to the rear bolts.

Tried pushing from the back while engaging the seat motor. Tried pounding on it, so far no success.

Even if I take the seat off of the track and the motor out I still cannot slide the track forward enough to get to the rear bolts.

Any ideas?

Thank You Very much

Great car

 

You may have to get a whole seat adjuster from a salvage yard and may have to use a cutting wheel to get the old one off.

 

Got it,

Took the seat out first with the track still in the car, then removed fore/aft motor assembly, after the motor was out I was able to tap the top part of the rail forward enough to get to the rear bolt.

No time to cool of for a little then back to the 100 degree "shade" to get it back together
