Seat Slide Release Assembly Removal and Replacement
(See Figure 7.)
The release assembly consists of a pull handle (located under and to the side of the seat
base), a cable assembly, and plunger.
Removal:
1. Remove seat from pedestal.
2. Slide pedestal back and remove from track. If release assembly will not disengage,
you will need to retract the plunger manually. Insert a long, flat blade screwdriver
between plunger and seat index slot and pry plunger up. Then slide pedestal back
and off of track.
3. The plunger is secured on the bottom with a 1-5/16" nut, which must be loosened.
On the other end is a housing with a 3/4" slot, for a wrench, to prevent the housing
from turning.
4. Once the plunger housing nut is removed, loosen the 3/4" nut which secures
the pull handle assembly.
5. The entire assembly will now slide out. Install the new assembly. The new plunger
assembly should be adjusted so that when the release handle is pulled the plunger is
completely disen-gaged. When the pull handle is released the plunger should be fully
engaged into the index slot.
6. Apply Loctite blue on the 1-5/16" plunger nut threads.
