hellindustries Posted June 6, 2017 Share Posted June 6, 2017 Hi all. Recently noticed my seat wasn't on quite right. Turned out that the locking mechanism had lost its bolt. Refitted it with a new bolt (and threadlock!) refitted the seat, and now i realise that the cable has come away from the key end of the mechanism, too. So now i have a seat i cannot get off. I need to get it off to get to some of the rear panel bolts so i can get to the mechanism and repair it. Any advice? ------------------- Fixed. How: Removed rear panel by detaching and lifting front part of seat. Pliers on cable at left side. Re-secured cable to holder with a cable tie (zip tie), lubricated, reassembled.
