Default Removing stuck driver seat

I'm back again, this time I'm trying to remove the drivers seat in my 84. The motor does not work in order to get it to move forward so I can access the rear nuts. Any ideas? I don't really want to pry on it because it's in nice shape. This forum has been very helpful so far.

When I replaced my seat frame I remember removing cushions. They just pop out. then remove the shell and you should be able to remove and replace the seat frame with a reconditioned one.
reverse to install.

Agreed Release the Cushion remove Seat from Seat Track, If you want to slide seat forward using a 1/4" Air Ratchet with a very small Socket or a Slow Drill on Seat track drive cable unless the Whole seat trans is locked up.
