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. |

I finally got the seat out! It must have been stuck in at an angle, because my fat ass accidentally sat crooked and thats what broke it loose.
The seat handle was toast as you can see:  So much for plastic handles that never break. I will be replacing that and will post pics of the new one . The original reason I was taking the seats out was to replace the carpet, but I found a new beast to conquer once I got it out. There was a hole in the floor under the seat. I am not the most mechanically savvy person, but it looks like maybe this is just a plug that was glued in?  For some reason my picture posted upside down and I cannot figure out how to rotate it . Do I need to replace any metal here or can I pull that plug and re-seal it? |
