I want to replace the rubber/vinyl seal on the lower section of a 16ft steel
garage door, it appears that the seal has to slide into a track/grove.

I do think that the door has to be clamped shut, then the lower section
bracket loosened so that section, can be slanted to a position that would
make it easier to work with the seal.

Has anyone done this and have any tips on how to make this as simple as
possible, for a do it yourselfer?

Thanks

That would work but block the door up at a convenient height
first. Probably only have to remove the lower two wheels.

BUT, look for a replacement seal that fits first. Most of
the seals that I see are intended to simply be nailed on as
are most of the seals on a wooden door. I haven't seen a
garage door seal such as you mentioned so you may have a
hard time finding a replacement. It may simply be that the
seal just pries out of the metal holder, and the new seal is
slipped in a putty knife rather than sliding from the end.
