GRUVENPARTS.COM BRASS POWER SEAT HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT GEARS FOR 2007-2014 GM TRUCKS - Click Here for the Product Page !

*** SOLD IN SETS OF 2 GEARS - ENOUGH TO FIX 1 HEIGHT DRIVE UNIT ***

GruvenParts.com is PROUD to release this LIFETIME WARRANTIED SOLID BRASS GEAR SET for GM truck power seat height adjustment mechanisms ! This set includes 1 helical cut solid brass main gear AND a solid brass mating worm drive gear. These gears exactly match the GM plastic versions but are many times stronger so they will not chip, strip, or break. This is a GREAT WAY to save money AND make your GM truck power height adjustment mechanism BULLETPROOF! We all know that GM will not sell these gears - instead, they make you buy an entire new power seat unit (with more plastic gears that will also soon break or strip). Dont waste money on more plastic gears, or incomplete gear sets. The GruvenParts.com gear set includes EVERYTHING that wears out and replaces them with SOLID BRASS GEARS - LIFETIME WARRANTIED !

The larger helical cut spur gear easily attaches to the main shaft via 24 hour cure epoxy, such as 24 hour JB weld. You can quickly and easily remove the remnants of the GM plastic gear using a small dremel tool then just clean the underlying shaft before application of epoxy.

This product is sold as a set of 2 gears - (1) Spur Gear and (1) Worm gear. This is enough to fix ONE (1) power height adjustment mechanism. Please note there are TWO (2) power height adjusters on each seat - one for the seat front and 1 for the seat back. This does not fix the power forward / aft or seat recline features.

This product fits all 2007-2014 GM Trucks with Power Seats, Including Escalade, Silverado, Avalanche, Tahoe, Suburban, Sierra, Yukon, and Denali and likely many others. The GM part numbers for the seat tracks which these gears fit into are : 22-80-44-17 (228044170, 22-80-44-18 (22804418), 22-80-44-19 (22804419), 22-80-44-20 (22804420), 20-77-91-09 (20779109), 20-77-91-10 (20779110) as well as many others.

** Installation Instructions **

1. Access bottom of seat structure. This is easiest by removing power seat entirely from vehicle. Remove power seat bracket from bottom of seat bottom.

2. Remove the flexible drive shaft for the height adjustment drive box. You can pull the drive box away from the drive shaft slightly to gain the needed clearance. The flex drive shaft will fall out. Please be sure to mark the drive shafts if you are replacing both height gear sets as the drive shafts are different lengths.

3. Remove the Four (4) 1/4"" screws holding each height adjustment drive box together. Remove and discard the plastic worm gear. Position the main spiral shaft with over-molded plastic spur gear such that the plastic spur gear can be cut off using a dremel wheel or similar.

4. Cut across the width of the plastic spur gear. Its OK to cut slightly into the underlying steel shaft. Wear eye protection ! Remove the old plastic spur gear and clean off the underlying steel shaft.

5. Using a 24 hour epoxy such as JB Weld, thoroughly coat the steel underlying shaft. Slowly thread on the new brass spur gear, wiping away any excess JB weld. Once the JB weld dries, it is extremely hard to remove so clean any excess epoxy. Position the new brass gear such that the metallic washer recess is facing the spirals, just like the OEM layout. There should be about .050"" of main shaft exposed (not including shaft ball end) once new brass gear is installed. You can also look at the OTHER height mechanism and measure its gear placement.

6. Allow epoxy to fully cure per manufacturers instructions.

7 Reassembly is reverse of removal.
