taking front seats out with broken cogs

kaotic

hey guys as stated in the title i am trying to take my front seats out and they both do not slide forwards or backwards via the switch. i have looked at the how to section where it shows to replace the cogs and saw the 12mill bolt that is said to manually move the seat. i had a go then while i had 10 minutes free and it did not seem to be moving back? and also how would i move the seat forward to reach the back bolts? thanks in advance.

you can unbolt the seat from the rails

Wind the 12mm nut on each side of the rail at the front, will go backwards and fowards, time consuming and a pain but it will get there eventually

MATE........... Nervous

good luck and i hope you do better than me and others here..... Nervous

i had NO LUCK ....with replacing the cogs at all... Sad

and i DID notice the ( S2 ) seat rails are slightly different ( modified ) over the "S1" rails..?
having said this.....i changed both my front seat rails for (S2) units. and to date have had no problems at all with the front seats in mine..! Cool

being my wife is as tall as a grass-hopper. THE seat rails do get a work out !! Smiley

so if i keep winding the 12mill bolts it will go all the way back then return forward?
nick i will not be replacing the cogs i am just removing the seats and putting saas ones in.

turning 1 way is backwards
the other way is fowards

There are two 12mm nuts on each seat, wind them evenly in your desired direction

Doing it evenly is the trick to its so a slow painful process but it works

That never happened for me, as the nuts were tighter than the force required to wind the motor's fowards

how tight were they to wind back? they should move pretty freely

Might have to try and get the nut tighter at the front before trying to wind it foward

THIS...........did happen to me blokes..... Nervous

thank god...for the good ol "super glue" and wait 5 mins ,and go again..!! Very Happy

driver seat is "easier" cause you CAN lift the thing by the side switch, and get in there .not so the
passanger side... Sad

Hey guys, my seat cogs are broken as well and looking at just replacing the seats all together, as I'm pretty much a newbie with this car I was wondering if anyone knew of where I could source out, base rails + seats from.

or what seats are actually able to be almost a straight swap over with the Aristo?

cheers for your help in advance.

don't know about soarer, but i have heard that the supra ones won't fit. i am just making a frame for the seats i am putting in.

can confirm soarer seats won't fit without doing some welding effort, all in all I just bought a aristo wreck which had 2 working seats in it which has worked out to be the cheapest option...
