Has anyone ever successfully taken one of these things apart apart?
There's a rivet and two pinch welds holding the "feet" to the bottom track. I thought that the rivets served as a stop for the roller bearings. I drilled them out and learned that they do not. They appear to play no role at all in the action of the track.
I'm starting to think that the dimples are pressed into the tracks, top and bottom, after assembly. If so, the dimples are the bearing stops and these tracks are, therefore, made to never come apart again.
The first picture shows one of many dimples on the top track. The hole to the left is were the track mounts to the seat. The hole in the lower track is where the rear rivet was located. The second picture isn't great, but shows a horizontally oriented cylindrical bearing that is hitting the dimple.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
