Not sure how cutlass tracks are, however i have redone quite a few tracks on 60s mopars, and they cant be much different, if you remove the track from the seat, and run the track all the way in the direction it needs to go to bring the spring to full compression, then just unhook and remove the spring with a pair of plyers. At this point you can slide the track whichever direction you need to clean the old dried grease off the slides and rollers with laquer thinner, varsol, or whatever grease cutter you want on the work bench where its easier to do than in the vehicle. You can then regrease the tracks and run them forward and back without the spring attached to make sure the lube is where you want it. Then slide them back where they need to be to reattach the spring so its not under tension, then reinstall the tracks to the seats.
I use Aeroshell 22 synthetic grease on all my light lube areas like window regulators, power window gearboxes, wiper motors, seat track sliders etc. It doesnt have an odor, will not deteriorate nylon plastic gears, and takes hot and cold temperature extremes without getting thicker or thinner. I rebuilt a pair of vent window crank regulators for a 60 el camino i restored. Packed em with aeroshell 22. Smooth as butter when you would turn the cranks. Price is pretty reasonable too. Comes in a plastic grease gun sized tube I just use an acid brush, and dip into it, when done, i put the plastic cap back on and save for the next job. For the purposes you would use this for, one tube will last you a lifetime.
Hope this helps someone to not lose a finger or an eye.
