Rear seat fold down mechanism - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

How can I release the cable to fold down the rear seats? The single jump seat, folds down quickly. The cable mechanism works great. The large portion of the seat has a hard time releasing. I can nearly pull all the latch all the way up. It does not release. If I ccould see the latch, I would use something to release it.

then I removed the seat and PB Blasted the works followed with blowgun repeatedly.
