Elco Seats won't slide

[Vrummer43]

Hey, the bucket seats in my 87 Elco won't slide forward or back. When I actuate the lever, I still can't slide them. Does anyone know an easy fix? Perhaps a part I can lubricate? I'll probably need a pic. Thanks in advance!

Spit on it, and pull it harder. Or, spray the tracks with PB Blaster enough to get it moving, pull the seat, clean, and lube correctly with Lubri-plate or white lithium grease.

I would take the seat out and physically see why its binding.

Is there a wire between the handle and the far side of the tracks? The handle actuates the left side track directly, but relies on a wire from the handle to the right side track to unlock that side. It is common for that mechanism to get rusty and seize, causing you to not be able to fully move the handle over or breaking the wire and not allowing the right side mechanism to move at all. Silicone lube all the metal parts and make sure everything is moving free. You can actuates the slave side with an adjustable wrench.
