Okay, update. I got them out but the pushed the spring down and then came out. Not sure what else I should do with them now. Take all the screws out and clean it then grease again or

Honestly dont think that the front brackets were in all the way. Spray with a silcone lubricant while they are out and wipe dry before you put them in. You can spray a little bit of white lithium grease up in there where u see the factory grease. The white grease shouldn't drip but dont go crazy with it... on the spring part use the silicone but wipe before u put them back. Make sure the seatbelts are on the outside of the seat when you put them back in the truck. Don't grease the floor. Good luck. U cant manually move anything while they are out... its a pia

honestly 3rd was the biggest mistake on buying a Tahoe. I'm happy with the caption seats and just saying I can only fit 4 people. Less aggravation

I'm resurrecting this, I have a similar problem. I can't get one of my 3rd row seats to release from the #2 latch to fold up so I can pull it out with the #3 handle. If that makes sense... Anybody have any suggestions on how I can get the #2 lever to release?
