My 1986 Buick Regal has a "power seat" on the driver'* side. Because it is a coupe and I was loading something large in the back seat the other day, I
ran the driver'* power seat full forward because I needed the room to get in the back seat. At that point I heard a rattle (like plastic gears eating their guts out) and the seat stopped. In order to drive it home I squeezed myself into the car, rested my chin on the steering wheel and drove home.

Supposedly the driver'* seat can be removed by removing the four bolts on the seat'* rear frame (which I did). Then... supposedly... the seat tilts
forward and one can slide it backward to dislodge the seat front from a v-shaped track that is connected to the floor. This is where it ends for me. There is no movement rearward. According to my Chilton book, the power seat is purported to have two bolts on the front frame of the seat from which those nuts need to also be removed.

If I twist myself into a pretzel I can see the thread of two bolts under the seat frame front area so I am guessing there are two nuts that need to be removed. But unfortunately the power seat motor framework covers up anything including those bolts.

Does anyone have a suggestion as to how I can get this seat removed (or at least shift it backward) so I can remove those front bolts?

As always I really appreciate the help I've got on this forum from you guys.

You should be able to unbolt the seat bottom from the tracks.

Thanks CathedralCub. It'* pretty tight down there but with a mirror I found one possibility for a bolt that would be holding the seat to
the track. So far haven't been able to find the other although there is one spot that might be a cap over an access hole that would
enable me to get to a second bolt. This is a real head-scratcher.

Ask a body shop.
