Replace broken recline seat handle.

My mother's driver's side seat handle broke off on her 98 expy. Now you can't recline the seat, but more importantly, you can't flip the seat forward, and it's a sport so you can only get into the back seat from the passanger side now. The dealer wanted $200 to fix it, so we held off. Today I found an explorer in the boneyard while I was poking around for parts for my truck. (hard to find in u-pull-its around here) So I got that whole hing off, with the bracket, spring and all. My buddy works there, so I got it for $2 along with some other odds and ends I picked up.

The thing is, to get it off at the yard I just took my razor knife to the seat at the top so I could get the two bolts that go into the back out. Now, how can I get to these on my moms car without slicing up her nice leather seat?
