Replying to: mcaknupp (Jul 12, 2006 6:35 am) I've had that happen to both my 1999 and 2002 Blazers. Its a common problem, due to the soft alluminum shaft they use.   I just went to a junkyard, and yanked a new assembly.. Cost me $15

You can get an aftermarket handle that attaches permanently to the broken stub at: http://www.wittydeals.com/product_info.php?products_id=29

Replying to: mkob (Mar 13, 2007 7:48 am) I bought this about 2 1/2 years ago, and it fixed it.   Its easy to install, its a screw that goes in the hollow shaft, its cheap and quick.   http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/98-99-00-SEAT-RELEASE-HANDLES-GMC-BLAZER-JIMMY-BR- AVADA_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQcategoryZ33701QQihZ004QQitemZ140171991695QQrdZ1QQsspagen- ameZWDVW

Replying to: mcaknupp (Jul 12, 2006 6:35 am) Both levers broke off in my 99 Jimmy. The remaining stub on the driver's side split in two pieces so the aftermarket handle won't work. Has anyone replaced the reclining mechanism? I see there are plastic clips connecting the upholstery to a bar. How do you remove the lumbar support knob? Any help would be appreciated.
#9 of 9 replacement reclining seat handle for blazer by dan1954 Jul 27, 2009 (2:13 pm)
Go to wittydeals.com and they have replacement handles that go over the broken one after evening it up and it's held in place with a set screw, Never have to fix it again.
