Greetings all.  I'm in the process of cleaning (bead blasting and wire
brushing) my seat rails in an attempt to remove a fair amount of rust.  The
tracks still slide fairly well, but I can't figure out how to disassemble
them so I can really clean the inside of the rails where they actually make
contact together.  I see some sort of a spring or something inside when I
peer in there.  If anyone can advise me on how to disassemble the seat
rails, I'd appreciate it. If not, I'll just clean 'em as best I can, paint
them with a metallic finish and lube 'em with graphite as best I can.

Best wishes,

Jeff in San Diego
