Anyone know how to get the armrests of a 51? I cannot find any screws holding it on. earlier mocdels had 2 screws in the underside of the armrest. Mine are covered with upholstery and I do not feel anywhere there would be screws. The do not seem to lift up and off.

Thanks

Try removing the finger pull indent ( 2 screws) the bolt should then be visible.

There is a vinyl (?) covered steel plate in the bottom of the finger pull area.  Yo neet to pry it out with a pick tool to access the inner screws.  You will see some "teeth" on it that go towards the interior.  There is also a bracket under the handle (after removing it) that bolts to the door that has to be removed if you are removing the interior door trim panel, as well.
