yes it takes some force to do so. with yourself in the seat, press on lever and use your legs to push against the footrest and extend, it should push the seat downward. hope that helps

The seat height lever pulls a cable that goes to the pneumatic shock, It is released in both directions to raise or lower by pulling the lever up. You say the lever is broken, Is it just missing? When you look at the hole where the lever goes do you see what appears to be a shaft with 5 or 6 teeth? The lever is pried off to remove the trim plate. If you see the teeth centered, then I would see if you can borrow a lever from a friend (never mind I Googled cape Breton} or pick one up somewhere. If you can't find one I have an extra I can send you. Of course if you need to you can release manually, Pull the 2 screws from the trim plate push up and the plate will come off. This will expose the lever and release cable. Fish some cord from front of seat go around the lever and pull to release Good Luck.

Link to lever below.

The levers are not particularly expensive from the dealer (it's all relative of course).
