Replacing the Seat Track Clevis on your C5 Corvette

Seat Track Clevis Replacement Instructions

These instructions assume that the seat is outside of your Corvette and on your bench, seat track bottom facing you.

1. Remove bolts of pins connecting clevises to the track crossbeams. Discard plastic inserts (if they are not already broken and missing)
2. Drill out rivets on the end of each threaded rod. Save washer for later use. Unscrew, remove, and discard plastic clevises.
3. Using a 9/64 drill bit, (included in kit) drill down into each threaded rod to a depth of 3/4".
4. Spin both clevises onto their respective rods: They are marked L and R at the end to denote which is RH and LH thread. Using the provided black screws and the washers that were previously under the rivets, secure the clevises onto the threaded rods.
5. Using the provided bolts, nuts, spacers, and washers, connect the clevises to their respective mounts on the crossbeams.
6. Tightening the bolt and the locknut alternately, snug the assembly together. Each black spacer should be able to be rotated by hand once installed: If it cannot be rotated, back off the nut of the bolt a half-turn. Repeat this until you can rotate all four black spacers individually with your fingers.
7. Test seat track for function once the seat is back in your Corvette.
