96 front passenger manual seat broke-HELP

[Geo's66]

GUYS, my lever on side of seat back somehow broke and now the seat goes all the way backwards. Underneath all the springs look correct... No visual damage to lever itself. What is the fix to this? Thanks

theres a bolt in there that connects the lever to the seat and holds the seat up. it probably sheared off. happened to me before too, easy fix.

Thanks. So, I just unscrew the lever from the side to remove it, is that the same bolt you're referring to? Or is there another bolt to get to once the lever itself is removed? Thanks again

I'm having a hard time with this- can anyone help? Do I need to take the seat apart? Thanks

Post up a pic of the seat back @ the bottom rear where it meets the cushion. I'll try to help once I see that.
