It is probably easier to fix the seat if you pull the seat out of the truck. The tracks, and seat just unbolt from the floor and lift up. Spray a little penetrating oil on the nuts in case of rust. It is also a great time to add some white lithium grease to obvious places that would help improve the operation of the rollers too.

The long wire is the transfer wire from one side to the other to actuate the seat release on the rail. The spring is attached to the lug (for want of a better word) on the inside of the rail to set the lug when the seat actuator is released. Look for a small eye on the inside of the rail that will take the long wire. It should be loose and a replacement spring will cause it to seat, locking the rail in the desired seat position.
