So it's too hard to sweevil the seets eh? Try this. Slide the seats out of the tracks by sliding them forward until they latch and then releasing the latch. Now you have a seat in your hand so set it down and you'll see that the sweevil is bolted to the underpinnings. The nuts are retained so you can safely remove the bolts. Now you'll notice that the sweevil comes apart and you can see the bearing surfaces. Clean them well with a non- recyclable t-shirt or your favorite wiping thingy. Lube sparingly with white grease or your favorite non-runny lubricant. Reassemble and voila' sweevils are swivels again. For a fun time, Rain X only the drivers side of a friends car in a surreptitious manner. The next time s/he drives in the rain with a passenger...sheer terror. -- -- ___ / __ __/ ____/ Al Knoll HP Performance Technology / / / / / Center Roseville, CA, USA 95747 / _____/ / / 916.785.9453 (Telnet 785-9453) / / / / email: alf@hpptc38.rose.hp.com / __/ __/ ______/ ___________________________________/
