    Hi Tony,

    i somehow missed your post originally. When I did mine I found the motors and gear boxes were like tinker toys – mix and match. A poster here had a motor and drive that looked right in the pics but was a mirror image of mine. In my case the worm drive was stripped. I was able to disassemble mine and use pieces from his to fix mine. Easy to do once you unbolt the seat from the floor and have the chair on its back.

    Most of the time it’s the gears that go bad. Flex Steel made the seats, gears were redesigned but they will still make one special order for you. You can remove the motor/ transmission with the seat in (real pain, I did it twI did it twice) so you can bench test the motor w/o the gears attached

    Hi Dick,

    We talked about this at the time. The parts were correct but the brackets were mirror images of mine. I took the parts out of what you sent and put them into my existing bracket to make it all work properly. Thanks again for your help and generosity in sharing your stash of parts.
