Armrest Bracket

[BP_93explorer]

Is that what broke? I want to make sure that is the part I need. I see them on ebay for about $22 plus S&H. I thought they used to be cheaper. There are some armrests for sell but mine seems to be in better shape.

You got it!

To replace you will have to remove the pin. That is done with a Dremel tool and a cutting blade or a bolt cutters. I did mine using an ebay on five years ago and it's still good.

Good luck!

I got one of those 20-30 dollar replacements off ebay - what a difference. The updated version has the metal bracket inside - it is rock solid, more than the original ever was from the factory.

I placed the order yesterday so I'm hoping to get it in about a week or so. It's really annoying not having that there. I used it to get in the Explorer.

I'm stuck!

How do I get it on the new bracket? Do I have to use brute force?! I don't want to risk messing something up. Is there a way to adjust that damn pin so it goes on easier?

I put it in place, and basically used brute force. It snaps in. You won't get this with your fingers IIRC

Glad you got it. I had to buy a large C-Clamp, but I can no longer remember its expressed purpose, so I didn't mention it.

if it doesn't, do a search on ebay motors for 91-94 ford explorer (they have fields for those) and "bracket" in the keyword part. should bring them right up

I now have my armrest back!
