Re: driver seat stuck
Track could be bent, have seen that before. Or something could be caught in it not letting it slide.

Unbolt the seat and turn it upside down to see where the problem is.

I tried to get it out but the 2 rear bolts that hold the seat down are un accessible because the seat is all the way back any tricks

Re: driver seat stuck
Funny story. I once bought a 3rd gen that had a stuck driver's seat and after finally getting the seat out, found a cigarette lighter that was mangled in the track.haha Look for that! Seriously, though, if the seat is all the way back and you have small enough arms, you can reach under the seat from the front and feel your way back to the rear nuts with a wrench. You'll only be able to turn it a milimeter at a time and it will drive you nuts, but that's how I got one out. Also, you can unbolt the seat from the track at the front, so that you can lift it up more out of your way. You should be able to reach those bolts in the bottom of the seat if it's all the way back.
