power seat problem 900 1997

problem of the day... Ever since obtaning the car, I felt that the driver's seat did not go back quite as far as it should. I felt just a bit too close to the pedals. So tonight I ran the seat all the way forward, and upon examination, found an old ball point pen that had been mangled into the right track (the black track mounted to the floor), as well as about 37 cents in coins. After clearing the debris and feeling quite pleased with myself, I went to slide the seat back to its new expanded position. And now the problem... only the left side of the seat moves (about an inch or two). The right side doesn't budge, doesn't even make a sound. It is stuck in the full forward position.

Subsequently, I have read a few posts that describe how to pull the seat to replace a cable. Sounds scarey. Are there any other ideas out there? I hate to think I did this to myself. The seat had been working fine. Short of a permanent solution, is there a way to release the seat manually? I currently have it "tilted" all the way back... barely functional.
