Hi all after a little bit off help!!

 

I am really struggaling to remove my drivers seat...

 

There is a harness clasp stuck down the left hand side and the driver seat is stuck all the way back..

 

I can't get to the clasp to remove it and i can't get to the back bolts to remove the seat....

 

I was thinking is there a way to strip the seat down from the top??

 

 

Or does anyone have any ideas??

 

Thanks in advance any help would be brilliant

Hi mate I had the same problem. If you look on the left side at the front of the runner there is a bolt think it's a 13mm I put a ratchet on it and done it manually forward All the way then was able to undo the back bolts. Hope this is of some help. Assuming it's the same as mine :)

 

Mine is electric.

Found this thread

 

 

There is a plastic plate at the front of the seat, two screws. Once removed you will see two gold coloured nuts, one on each side of the seat. If you turn the nuts the side of the seat will move backward and forward. You should basically move each nut one after the other say three turns as the seat starts to twist and get jammed in the runners if you don't.

 

Problem is, if the seat is in the far back position, turning the nuts clockwise can actually undo them from the thread. If the seat is forward, then turning them is not a problem as you are tightening the nut with the motion and the seat will go backwards. When removing my seats from the NA after the mechanism failed, my nut came off as I tried to draw the seat forward and I ended up needing to either weld the nut on or bash the end to ensure the nut could never come off again.
