Armrest replacement (removing hinge cover?)
Hi,
I have some damage to my armrest on my 2006 XC70 and so I bought a nice used replacement....but I'd like to see if I can replace this part without removing all the pieces from the center (transmission) console. As far as I can tell, I should be able to do it by removing the hinge and slotting in the new armrest into the same hinge....but I can't figure out how to remove the two silver square caps that cover the hinge (and I'm afraid if I use too much force I'll break something!)
I have looked at a few diagrams on some websites, but they all show a simpler "round" cap on the hinge, not the one I have.
Anyone know how to remove these caps...?(see photo with arrows). The second photo is the armrest piece I'm looking to put in.
Thanks for any help.
Alan.
