Sitting on my ***
Pulling out the seats for a tear down.
But I disconnected the main harness in prep for pull drivetrain.
So.....
Passenger seat is all the way back. I don't have power going to the seat. Is there a manual way to crank them forward? I can't get access to the rear post nuts.
is my only option to run 12v to the harness and pray the seats works properly and moves I power it.
Any ideas appreciated

I would recommend you check the Factory Service Manual. I had a seat mechanism go bad on a GM car (not a Corvette) and there was a procedure to move the seat to get at the rear bolts. The procedure was to disconnect one of the drive cables, put it in a cordless drill, and move the seat forward. Not sure if that is possible in the Corvette, but there must be a way.

I think you can either fold the seat forward and jam your hand behind the seat with a 15mm wrench and loosen the nuts a 1/8 of a turn at a time
or you can try to remove the 4 torx screws (2 on each side) underneath the rails holding the rails to the forward/back lead screws and slide the seat forward.
