Brainiacs of the list, please help. I don't see how to get the front seat out with it stuck all the way forward. 3 of the 4 nuts are off, but I can't get on the bolt that is at the front corner closest to the shifter. The rail goes directly over the top of it. Closest I got was with a 9" extension, u-joint and a 13mm socket. 

Then I thought I'd leave the rails in the car and take the bolts out that hold the seat to them, but there must be more than the 4 I took out.

Is there a way to push the seat back manually? I applied all the force I cared to muster with my 6'2" 215 pound frame, and it wouldn't budge.

I found a broken wire. There are two black wires that go from the front of the seat rearward, then under the carpet. They were stretched super tight and one was broke at the grey plastic connector in the middle. Everything else looked plugged in ok. As soon as I can get the seat lifted up out of the way, I think I can get my seats and door locks working again.

Thanks for any ideas!
