Are they frozen in the same place they've been stored at for years? Or have
they moved a little? It's possible that one or more of the locking teeth have
embeded into the recieving track, and locked the seat in place. You might want
to make sure the connecting rod is actually releasing the seat lock from the
track. Just remember, if you get the seat base to move, about 3 inches from the
end (the front end), there is a spring (more like a bent piece of flat stock
that is curved) that will need to be depressed in order to get the seat to
finish sliding off the tracks. Good luck with your project, sounds interesting. :
