Re: How to break lose front seat adjusters on front seat of 38 four door club sedan

I just rebuilt my seat rails on my '39 four dr. as they were also stuck in place. It required a complete disassembly and cleaning. There are four rollers (two per side) that have needle bearings in them that will need to be taken apart and cleaned/lubed. Once the four rollers are lubed and the track is cleaned and lubed, the seat will slide very easily. There are 15 needle in each roller so be careful while you take it apart. The rollers will only come out by turning the track over and letting them roll out along the top of the upper track. Putting the rollers back in is tedious but with lot's of grease the needles will stay in place.
