Default Broken seat repair

The tilet handle is broken and was wondering how to repair it. I have a new part for it.

You're looking for how to get the old handle base off, and the new handle on? The handle is held on with a traditional GM door handle clip:

To remove the old one, if you look you'll find a slot in the back side of the base piece, push a thin blade into the slot and you can expand the clip off the shaft within. C&S Corvette has a great video on seat frame repair, and they show the handle removal as part of the process:

Stop by a trim shop. I'm sure they'll remove the old one for free if it's like remove a window crank handle from the old days. You need to have friends in the trim shop business.
