940 seat tracks
Does anyone know how to separate the top and bottom pieces of a seat track? My ball bearings are so dry they rattle. I removed the pin and the rubber bump stops from the back end but trying to slide them apart towards the front or the back they hit some kind of stop. I don't think it's the anchor bolt in the middle, it's welded on. Any ideas? Thanks

squirt grease into them with a syringe, run them back and forth and squirt in some more, til they are thoroughly greased, then remove any excess thats oozing out of the rails. I did this when the seats were completely out of the car, but the rails were still attached to the seats. I used green marine waterproof bearing grease, it seems to be holding up well a couple years later.
(sorry, no pictures of the greasing, these are the newer pair of 960 seats I put in my 92 740).

This sounded kind of "brutal" at first, but it worked(light tapping). There's internal rubber spacers that create resistance yet can't be removed until the tracks are separated. Thanks for the tip.
