The seat is not locking.  How hard is it to fix?  Moves back and
forward about 1/2 inch.

Requires seat removal. There are some plastic parts in the seat/rail
interface that break. Easy to fix, several DIY cures work.

What parts, and where can I get them?

How do I get the seat out?

Each seat has a little flat rectangular piece that fits between rail and
seat base, and apparently is the actually sliding surface for the seat
adjustment. It is steel with a plastic insert. That plastic deteriorates
and becomes loose in the steel part.
  Follow the link someone else posted for the www.waycool etc site.
It has detailed instructions with pictures.
