Hello

My driver seat recliner was broken for a while and I finally decided to fix it. I saw a part of the plastic holding the ball end of the cable was broken, so I bought a new piece, installed it, and realized that actually the cable was stuck (which is probably what caused the plastic piece to break in the first place) in this picture I show how far I can lift the lever :

But I have no idea how to see where that cable go and where is it stuck. I don't see how I can open up the seat to see what is happening inside :

Would anyone have an idea how I can investigate that?
Thank you!
