hi. This may sound tricky but if I did it so can you.
The 4 motors are located under the front of the seat. Undo the top 2 screws of the plate covering them, the 1 nearest the trans. tunnel is the hardest, and swing down. Then pivot the top motor forwards so that the worm drive cables can be pulled out of the motor, you shouldn`t have to undo the locking ferrules. Then get 2 electric drills, 1 will need to have reverse, and attach to the worm drives. It is a matter of trial and error which has to go in reverse but its easy to see which way the seat is trying to move. If you dont put 1 in reverse then the seat tries to move forward on 1 runner and back on the other.
If my memory is right the lower motor moves the whole seat up or down, if you move it all the way up you can undo the connector to the motor, blue block on mine, then by applying a +ve feed to 1 of the paired teminals and -ve to the other you can power the seat into the best position. I left the block undone so that its just a question of reconnecting if I need to move it again. Trial and error to see which pair of terminals have which function, if it goes the wrong way ie up not down then reverse the +ve and -ve feeds to the block. Don`t forget to reassemble the motor before doing this.
hope that helps, let me know?

That worked a treat!!
Thanks for the tip.
I had to take oneside out at a time and take the drill to it, move it a few inches and then swap sides but it did it.
It's going to be a proper pain in the backside to move them forwards again when the seat is in place though! lol
Thanks again

Glad it worked.
Try to borrow a cordless with reverse and its not a problem to do both then.
If you have the seat out turn it over undo motor connector and when you find the correct pair of terminals for the function you want take a feed of the battery and power it to and fro. Remember if the seat goes the wrong way just reverse the feed into terminal block. Just be careful not to power the seat past its max travel or the motors will not like you.
any problem then come back.
Good luck.
