I once spent a day carefully taking apart a lazyboy recliner to replace the same parts that are likly broken on yours. It wasn't a lever operated recliner- when you wanted to recline, you grabbed the arms and pushed back with your shoulders. Roughly the same age.
I had to cut the flap that covered the internals, but it was easy enough to tack back in place. The whole mechanism was pretty easy to figure out, a couple bolts, a couple hooks. The chair was made mostly of a hardwood, with metal moving parts. The uprights that were broken were wood, and pretty integral to the whole operation. I cut out and bandsawed approptiate replacements, had to drill one hole, and put everything back together.
A month later it broke again. My replacements were the weak link. The fucking thing went to the dump that weekend.
Your call. I never intend to try furniture repair again.
