RE: [DML] Re: Seat Track Disassembly

["mgutkowski@xxxx" <webmaster@xxxx>]

To reply to Rick's suggestion directly, let's assume that Dave's balls are
still greasy (sorry, couldn't resist!) - getting sand in the old grease will not just fall out with
continued motion until the grit falls out, as in Rick's case. That said,
there are some really good spray solvents which do a fantastic job of
getting crap out of sealed assemblies like this. Loctite do one (though I
can't remember the code). You can buy it under the guise of "Nitro spray
cleaner" from a model shop, and there's one sold for cleaning electrical
contacts that I've harped on about often enough called Servisol 10. You can
always tell it's the same stuff because it stinks of lemons.

My point is that armed with a can of this stuff you'll most likely to be
able to clean out all the grit and old grease after sandblasting, then do
as Rick suggests and re-grease.

Slide the sliding part back and forth until the tracks stopped 
sounding gritty. This, as a side effect, cleaned the rust off the 
balls and off the inside of the track, which were also rusty on my 
car's seat tracks.

Paint, making a halfhearted effort not to deliberately paint the 
inside of the track.

Lubricate the interior with synthetic grease.

That was that. They move like new, probably better.
