Brazilian Dodge Dart 76 (similar to 69 usa)
I sent my seats to be recovered.. Last year I started to rebuild it and now I have to check everything.
First, notice that seat recliner isn't in good shape. (pictures 1 and 2)
Thus, I decided to disassemble it and rebuilt. Have to weld and check "gear" if is ok.
To disassemble, follow picture 3 to the end.
First, take off spring protection. Two screws only.
Them you must pull off spring. If you're afraid, don't be. But if you're really afraid (as I was), just drop an old shirt, jeans or any other cloth over the spring. Use a screwdriver to force the spring.
I missing an important thing. After I pull off the spring, I saw some bushings and a nut like part. Pay atention on picture 6.
At the end, drink a light beer.. (Bavaria is one of the most light beers in Brazil).
