I need to replace the seat tracks on both seats of my '64. The seats have a tube welded in place under each side of the seat base. Those tubes have a slot on the bottom that runs from one end to the other. The "track" slides within the slots in the tubes (or the tubes slide on the tracks, whichever way you want to look at it). The track has a cutout that contains notches that are engaged by the release lever mechanism. The release mechanism is welded to the tubes on the bottom of each seat and the arm of that release mechanism extends through the cutout of the track. That arm either engages the notches to hold the seat in the desired position, or moves out of the notches when the release lever is activated. However the slot in the track where the notches are located is closed on both ends and the release arm does not move far enough to allow the arm to clear the slot. This prevents the track from sliding out of the tube. So how does one extract the track from the tube? The only solution I can figure out is to cut the release mechanism from the tube, then weld it back in position after the new track is inserted.
Has anyone out there made this replacement?
Thanks in advance.
