Rebuilding Bench Seat Track? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Has anyone taken apart the seat tracks so they can be cleaned to roll better? There is is so much grit and stuff in there it is a struggle to get them to adjust right. Before I take my seat in to get it covered I want to get these right and ready.

Yes I did, I had to because I sandblasted them. I removed one of the rivets but I'll be darned if I remember if it was in the front or back. I remember I replaced it with a short 5/16" bolt and everything worked great.

I would assume that was the back rivet. I was nervous about removing a bunch of the rivets and not having a way to them back together. Anyone know for sure?
