Lil' Help....
Just got a replacement motor for my Driver seat, Fore/Aft controll.
Hearing its a simple replacement of motor. Anyone out there removed the driver seat on their own and can you give me any how to's or pointers?
Hoping its as simple as 4 bolts and lift it out...
Thanks in advance

I did this while ago. Don't remember exactly how many screws we have to remove but it was very easy.
You may have to remove the plastic covers that hid the crews on the floor (two in front and two in rear) using a flat screw driver.
Unscrew the 4 crews
Unplug wires that connect from the floor to the relay control box on the chair
Turn the chair over. There are 3 motors under the chairs (as I remember). I don't remember which one is moving which direction (up/down, forward/backward, back reclining), but you can easy test it by pressing the button and can feel which motor response to that button.
Anyway, it's quite easy and will not harm anything if you do it wrong. So do it yourself.
Good Luck!
