I have a 2003 Acura TL that has a beat up armrest between the front seats. I purchased a nice used one on eBay. I have not found any help on YouTube or other on-line sources giving me detailed instructions on how to remove the old armrest and install the newer one. Anyone out there able to help before I start attempting to "pry" something apart and end up breaking something(s)? Many thanks......

 

Use the diagram on the link below, it is easy to do.

Remove the (4) four phillips head screws (#29), were they attach at the armrest hinge (#18), and then pull the armrest up off the hinge. Reinstall in reverse order.

Great advice and help. The diagram was excellent. I was believing I had to replace the entire assembly (including boxes and hinges). The leather armrest removal and replacement was amazingly simple and saved me much time, frustration, and heartache. Turned out to be a 15 minute job. Many thanks for your help. Today is my birthday, and your advice is the greatest gift I have received (so far).

 

Well madam, to say the least and this is no joke, there must be some strange 'force' pairing us up on this little 'repair' of yours because my birthday is today as well!
