The Westy front seats do get difficult to turn due to sand and grit in the tracks. It is easy to slide the seat out of the forward/aft tracks and remove the bolts holding those tracks. Lift off the steel plate and clean the circular groove and coat with grease. Replace and it will rotate easily. When I did this on my old 84 both seats revolved so well that they went from side to side about 1/4" as we went around corners! Go easy on the grease and do not tighten the hold down blots too tightly. Use those bolts to adjust to a satisfactory firmness of rotation. Don. (90 Syncro "Leana Hula")
