Ok, so here's the deal. My seat is stuck leaning at a 45 degree angle. I originally thought it was the seat recliner mechanism, so I replaced it. Didn't help. So now im thinking its a bent frame on the seat.

So here's my questions:
1. What is your guys thoughts on the problem?
2. How do I remove the drivers seat. (No electronics)

Thanks.

Simply unbolt it from the floor. Slide seat back to access the front bolts. Slide seat forward to access the rear bolts. Unplug the seat belt wiring.
 






Lol, well, that's easy. Does it sound like that is the next logical step?
 






You can always do what I have done in the past, get longer bolts and block up the rear of the seat frame. Don't get too carried away though. I never went more than an inch. Sometimes that makes a big difference.
 






Lol. That's not gonna work. Actually got some time to look today. Here is what I found, and u don't think blocking it up is gonna help:




 






Looks like it is time to get a new seat
