Front Seat Temp Fix?

[Bassumarus]

My front passenger seat has the normal problem of moving forward but won't move backwards. It's on my list of things to fix, but I was waiting till better weather since I don't have a garage and hate working in wet Seattle weather. Anyway, I'm going snow wheeling this weekend and a buddy asked to ride with me. He's on the tall side, unfortunately.

Is there a way I can crank this seat back without doing the full gear repair just so it's more comfortable for the day? I've tried pushing on it using my gorilla-like strength, but it won't budge.

Any thoughts and tips greatly appreciated!

Yes I did it but don't recall details-(gears bad)- something along a disassembly of the mounts- maybe spin adjusters to full back and bolt back to floor. Look up repair and somewhat follow how to reassemble synched up so adjusters are at the same position.

You'll have to actually pull the seat and take apart part of it in order to screw it backwards.

That's what I was afraid of. Well, guess my buddy is gonna ride side saddle if wants the good view.

Manually move power seat back?

When mine fell out, I was able to put my finger where the cap was and hold that shaft somewhat centered. It worked, but my fingertip was sore for a day or two. You're trying to keep the shaft from walking out, and keep it centered in the hole. On the passenger side, it was "front, left" under the seat.
After I moved it back, I found the dam cap...

I had done the driver's side with the Gamiviti gear, so I knew how it worked.
