Tim, a couple of things, one: please put a subject on your E  mails!   lots 
of people filter "no subject" emails so they never see  them, and others won't 
open them.   Also, for future reference, like  archiving, it helps to have a 
subject.
 
 
on to seat slides:
 
pound out the drive pin, I can't remember right now, but it might like to  go 
out one way better than the other, then you can just work the slides and the  
balls will fall out.   Grind off the studs and weld on new ones, you  can use 
bolts if you watch the head clearance.   Get them re plated if  you like and 
then work new balls in.   finally space out the balls so  you have two 
together each side, each end, lubricate and done!
 
 
 
good luck!
