I finally got around to changing the gearbox on the power front seat in the 64 Caddy today.
Unbolt the seat and tip it back and used a car stand on each side to support it.
I now have access to the power motor and gearbox.
Some rough bastard in the states, has had a go at this once before.
The two bolts that hold the motor and gearbox frame to the seat are missing and its zip tied there.
![Huh? ???](http://www.myswag.org/Smileys/classic/huh.gif)
First job, was remount that with bolts and yeah, they're a turd to do, but ya kind of need them.
Four hex head bolts each side of the box releases the 6 cable drives from the box and another two bolts and the gearbox slips off the drive shaft.
The motor can stay where it is, as it works fine.
Split the box open to find second gear seized. (good reason the seat didn't forwards or backwards since we owned it.)
I've got another box I bought last year for $125 USD that's reco'd and ready to roll.
I figure it might be good to check all the drive cables.
Cool, the Blue cables aren't connected at the screw drives on the seat. (Another good reason the seat didn't back or forth)
5 out of six cables are free as a bird (Not You) with one a bit tight.
WD40 is a wonderful product, hung the cable, lubricated the Shit out of it and its all good.
Slide the box back on the drive shaft making sure its engaged the drive itself.
With everything bolted up, its snug as a bug.
Refit one cable in the morning and lower the seat back into position and bolt down and we should be working in all 6 directions.
Its a bloody robust system for moving a seat.
The thing could be used to jack the car up.
All this for power seat.
