On my old 84 seats, i just pulled like hell and they came off.I did the same on some "GTA" seats when i swapped out the recline assembly/hinge.

IIRC Some seat reclining mechanisms had a small metal "lever" ( it was not very user friendly ! ), some had a plastic knob as kinda' a "cover" over this metal lever, and some had a lever that was entirely plastic. The entirely plastic type of reclining mechanism would probably need to be replaced if the 'lever' broke off,...

If it's like the seat track knob, the sneaky way is to clamp a vise grip to the steel close to the knob, then use a drum brake adjuster spoon or something similar as a prybar between the vise grip and the blind side of the knob to pry it off. :p

Hi, when I replaced my seat covers I had to remove the flip lever. On my car 87 formula, there was a tiny drift pin in it.Really hard to get out. I had to drill it out.
