Can I manually adjust my electric seat? 850 1994

My driver-side electric seat has stopped working. I can move the entire seat forward / backward but I cannot move the seatback at all. The seatback is so far back it is quite uncomfortable. I would be happy to have it manually adjusted to a permanent position never to be moved again.

I've seen the info on how to replace the seatback wiring. Looks tedious - I certaintly don't want to tackle that and I also don't want to spend $$$ on what appears to be hours of labor for a mechanic. Is possible to manually adjust the darn thing? It looks like there are some bolts that could be loosened to move the seat up to a normal position, but not sure if I should chance this without getting some expert advice here.

PLEASE HELP - I've lived with this quite a while now and am getting a bit unnerved that I can't enjoy the wonderful seats they put in this car.

Thanks very much.
