On Senior cars the seat bottom just lifts up. Sometimes a tight squeeze though for whatever reason.

Power seat uses motors and a switch or two. Typical electrical repair. Also need to clean off and regrease the lead screws. I can walk you through some things a bit once it's apart.

I don't have a better idea than JB weld for the clips

On the 56 cars the cushion does not lift off. You can take the back rest off after you remove the side shields and the whole bottom with tracks and motors and all unbolts from the floor.

Still have not removed the front seat from the car. Found the 8 seat frame bolts and 1 bolt for the seat height adjustment plate (guessing because I figured out which motor moves the seat back and forth) When I go to lift the seat, something is holding it fast. My only theory is the band of metal going from passenger side to the drivers is holding it in place. Cannot tell how it is secured to the floor. My guess is the sound deadening is acting like a glue?

There are nuts under the car that secure the sliders to the floor pan. Those have to be removed to free the sliders. They could be covered with grim or undercoating.
