Re: Lumbar support R/R 900 1992

posted by  someone claiming to be Bob on  Tue Apr 11 18:07 CST 2000 [RELATED]

The most common failure is the adjustment bracket breaks. To access, tilt the seat foreward. Remove the lumbar knob and trim bezel.(unscrew knob and pull straight out, pull bezel straight out), then look at bottom of backrest you will see 3or4 steel rings, called hog rings. cut these rings and remove them. In the bottom edge of the seat cover,(where the rings were) tou will find 2 metal rods going the width of the seat inside a pocket. Remove these rods. Tilt the seat back a bit and pull the seat cover through to the front side. Then carefully turn cover inside out from bottom and roll it up toward the top. You don't have to remove completly, just 8 or 10 inches. About 6 inches up on both sides in the back, there are 2 elastic straps with hooks attached to the frame. Unhook these with needle nose pliers. Continue pulling cover up till you see lumbar bracket. Unhook strap from back side. Pull upright padding back a bit to access the screws, romove three screws, bracket comes out. Reverse procedure to install. You will need 4 hog rings and hog ring pliers to resecure the seat cover when finished. good luck.
