How to Repair a Bent Recliner Mechanism

in this video, I show a way to go about repairing a bent recliner mechanism. It is obviously ideal to replace the whole mechanism if that is an option, but they can be very expensive and hard to find. Always check with the store where you purchased it first to see if it is under warranty and the parts are available. If you absolutely have to, this is how you can straighten up the mechanism, however, keep in mind it will not be as strong as it was originally intended. thanks!
