1/2 of seat reclines - please help (archive)

I just recently bought an 84 633, and the driver's seat only reclines 1/2 of the seat, while the other half stays where it is, thus twisting the seat back. Rather than do the "twist and shout" as I try to figure out what's going on and how to fix it, I was hoping someone might be able to tell me how to fix this (from what I understand, I'm not the first person who's encountered this before). Also, how do I repair the padding so I don't feel as much of the springs underneath (the old padding's a little worn).
Seems like this is the only flaw with the car, please help me to make it perfect.
Thanks in advance,
James
