Well, today I took the seat out. At that point I thought it would be about a 20 minute job. I lithium-lubed the slide mechanism on both sides. I also put a crimp in the copper link to make it shorter as the teeth were barely clearing the anchor holes on the "pull" side. Then the fun began.

I could not get the seat back in. After a half hour of struggling I took the seat back out and measured the distances between all four bolts and the distances between all four bolt holes on the floor. The measurements showed nearly a 1/4 inch discrepancy. So....I had to manually move one side of the track to a new notch (so that the count of notches was different from one side to another) and finally the bolts all slid into place. Took more than two hours but my seat is working fine. Think there may be a seat installer in South Africa laughing about this.
