Unhappy Question about SC seats

Can someone give instructions on how to take out the passenger side seat. I dont know what the seat is stuck on but the left side of the seat will move but the other wont. Now I wasnt sure if the sc seats have two motors on each seat or just one and if I have to how much will it cost to fix this myself. I wanted to clean my cabin air filter but cant get to it cause the seeat is stuck to the front of the car. Any tips?

there is only one motor, but it's weird how it drives both sides - hard to explain...

but... to get it to move manually, get a 10 or 12 mm socket with a 12" extension.... lay your head on the front floorboard and look at the underside of the seat.. on top of each sliding rail, you will see a nut... turn it with the socket and the seat will move forwards or backwards...

Its really simple. There are only 5 bolts you have to take off. 2 in the front of the rails and 3 in the back side of the rails and thats it. Once you remove all 5 you have to unplug the connector that is located right underneath the seat.
