    You'll have to clean the recline mechanisms at each side of the seat. It's probably best to remove them, you'll be able to clean them better. I used qtips with degreaser to get inside the mech, and then lubed them with lithium grease when done.

    Here's a DIY on disassembling the seat. It's not too hard.
