Default Power seat goes back, won't go forward

Is there a way to manually move the seat forward?
I've replaced the entire seat switches unit, and still same issue. All other adjustments work, except the forward one.

I now have the seat pinned back as far as it will go, and need to move it forward in order to access the rear platform bolts so I can remove the entire seat.

Anyone know how to move it forward manually ?

There is a way to move the seat but first try moving the seat when you are not sitting in the seat
The other option is removing the motor and turning the cable that connects the tracks to the motor
forward reverse motor is the one under the front of the seat
