I just removed the seats when I replaced the carpet. Just wiped them off and replaced the seats. No one can see them--so if they work---leave them alone.

well, they were in pieces at one time. sorry-sat morning humor!
most guys just degrease and soak in rust removal solutions. if you sand blast them, you'll never get all the grit out of the tracks.

If they are not rusted, I would blow the tracks out well with compressed air and then slightly grease the all moving parts. As for taking them apart, I wouldn't do it.

I wouldn't go to the trouble of disassembling them unless you have the correct rivets, rivet press and pressing heads to reassemble it correctly. You don't want that seat track to come apart during a frontal impact accident.

Yes. You can wipe them down with Ospho http://www.ospho.com/ or navel jelly and them lube all moving parts.

I guess if you carefully painted them with a brush you'd be okay. But if you spray them, the paint will end up in the moving parts and create movement problems I would suspect.
