    Removing Stuck Front Seats! 01 S

    hey, i'm trying to remove, or at least SLIDE my friends seats in his 2001 corolla S. you know how it's normal for it to slide back n forth, well his is FRICKIN STUCK. maybe flipping his car has something to do with it?? it's wrecked and on the side of his house but i really can't see how thta'd make the seats not move. any ideas on how to move it? i don't want to have to go and buy other tools to work around it. when i lift up the lever so that the seats can slide, i pull until my arms fall off and it goes NOWHERE :confused:

    did he have loose change in the car when it happend? there could be something stuck in the track. it would be easier to take it out and see what is it.

    Same problem yesterday in my grandmother's Concorde. Sat in it and violently convulsed back and forth until it poped free.

    thanks, unfortunately we can't even take out the bolts...supposedly a gear wrench takes over where the normal 'socket' wrenches don't fit.

    That happened to me. I just kept sliding it back and forth and eventually, it got unstuck.
