So I recently bought an XJ and i noticed that the drivers back rest doesn't come up all the way. I took the seat out today and was looking around and found a quarter inside I guess would be the gearbox on the side of the seat and that thing is bent in half. I was messing with a screwdriver trying to get it out but it will not budge. The gearbox is riveted together so no getting that off unless I drill them out and replace all of them. I'm wondering if there is a way I can get that out. I know its the kind of thing that you never see happen so hopefully something will work. I will try anything most likely.

Thanks

 

They do make small needle-nose vice grips. I don't use mine much, but am glad to have them when I do!

 

Thanks for the suggestion but I didn't have enough room to get them down in there so I ended up taking a screwdriver and hammer and I luckily got it out.

Here's the quarter:

 

Hey thats defacing govt currency a felony.....believe it or not...funny who a quarter is worth about 5 cents these days....
