Electric seat removal

[colb]

First try calibrating the steering angle with a good code reader, also check out the wheel speed sensors in live data to see if they are all working. Take a further look at the brake pressure sensors on the master cylinder, you should be able to see them in live data on a good scanner. List the exact codes you are getting might lead us in the right direction for a cheap fix. Blanking out warning lights is certainly not the way to go, probably done by a previous owner who couldn't fathom out the cause.

Well finally the seat is out, i eventually went down the same route as the video sent by colb, thanks colb.
Definitely wasn't the easiest of jobs made worse by the fact the seat was at the furthest back position, and my hands have taken a right battering.
So after getting the seat back and base removed I had access to the whole runners etc. The problem turned out to be the gearbox part that the motors driver runs into it was jammed solid, I had to cut the spindle that runs across from runner to runner then removed the gearbox part then push seat forward and remove.
Does anyone know if this is a part available anywhere??

Job took around 5-6 hrs all in, I just have the fun bit now of replacing the part and reassembling the seat and back in.

Then onto the next job sorting the yaw sensor and airbag faults.
Thanks everyone.
