Drivers Seat Problem
I have a 94 sc300 with about 150,000 miles on it.
Just the other day, someone much shorter than myself, drove my car. They moved the seat almost all the way up, and now it wont move back. I cant even fit in the seat whatsoever.
The seat is still on the tracks, there is nothing blocking the way (no loose change or anything).
The left side of the seat will slide back and forth without problem .... it is only the right side of the drivers seat that seems to be locked in place on the tracks. I tried pulling, pushing, leverage ... nothing will get the seat to move.
Is there a motor for each side of the tracks on the seat? Why would one wide slide normally, while the other side is stuck? The seat will move in all other aspects, except forward and backward on the right track
Any input will be appreciated.
Thanks so much!

only thing i can say is to make sure theres absolutely nothing in the track... I had a problem with my passenger seat track not moving back and forth also and couldnt figure it out until i took the entire seat out and noticed a freakn quarter stuck in the track....

Ok, well I spent a while refining my searching skills 
... and I found out a lot of good info on this problem.
The one question that I have remaining is:
If the seat is moved up all the way (or around 85% forward) ... and wont move back at all, is it at all possible to remove the two 14mm bolts holding the two front sides of the seats on?
I got all the rear bolts out with ease, as the seat is all of the way forward, but those 2 seeminly obvious easdy bolts are completely underneath the non moving seat.
Any have any suggestions ... other than cutting the brackets that hold the seat to the body, or literally ripping the seat out, breaking it in the process.
