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 _________________

MATE........... good luck and i hope you do better than me and others here.....
i had NO LUCK ....with replacing the cogs at all...
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..!
being my wife is as tall as a grass-hopper. THE seat rails do get a work out !! nick
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
have wound both 12mill bolts in a tightning motion all the way at the same time which left the front bolts to the floor exposed. once winding in the other direction the nuts just come off the thread?
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. _________________

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... _________________

do you have a radiator support panel in that wreck, or is it smashed in front?
