  if you can't get the seat to move and you really need to, you can
always take a screwdriver and punch the little tab out. after that,
follow ron's directions. i usually take some gas (or brake cleaner) and
clean off the pin after i scrape all the old grease off.

  only thing i'll add here is to grease the tracks as well. some wheel
bearing grease works nicely. it's like having a new seat.
