Drivers Seat Stuck, Broken handle adventures Options

[OGmikey914]

In trying to pull the seat to work on the carpet, and the seat handle on the drivers side broke (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif)
It was one of the shoddy plastic handles that "never break", unlike the metal ones made by 914rubber that never break (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

will definitely be swapping that out.

Anyone have any tips on how to get the darn thing out? It's super stuck, and we tried lubricating the channel, a screwdriver and everything in between. I'm a big guy, 250+ and even with every method we tried and me sitting in the seat sliding as hard as I could to get it loose, had no luck.

Well, when you pull up on the lever it pulls up a long rectangular piece that goes all the way down the seat runner and hinges at the rear of the seat.

You can lever that up with a long screw driver to get it out of the current pin it may be locked in on and the seat will slide forward .

The rest of your problem is both rust and possibly a seat mounted out of square.
Both create friction which can be overcome by anger.

Once you get the pin unhooked by lifting the bar, now hit the seat, pull like crazy, get a pry bar behind it, sit in it and jump it forward or all of that

Don't forget the stop inside the rail that does not have a handle which you need to use another screw driver to push if you want to remove the seat
