Up through mid 72, the seats mount on two rails.  There is a spring 
catch on the inner rail at the front that keeps the seat from going 
forward farther than the usual adjustment range.  You have to push it 
down with a screwdriver (to avoid pinching a finger) from above while 
you push the seat forward.

Take very good care of the plastic seat rail slides.  No matter how 
bad their condition, they are irreplacable.  I find that the steel 
rails underneath are almost always bent, probably from someone 
removing them carelessly.  Straighten them with a straightedge and a 
pair of channel locks.  Remove the plastic slides first.
