Have you tried Lapping or reconditioning ???? I don't believe they can be replaced. At least I've never seen them that bad that they couldn't be repaired. I could be wrong ????

No, it's the seats. They aren't worn, they have chunks takin out of them. This basket case has been problem after problem.

The seats can be cut to get the proper angle back, but if there are "chunks" missing out of them I would say you are outta luck.
