The footrest on one of the recliner was torn, so Heartland sent a new one that would replace the damaged one. They sent the replacement part, but no directions were included on how to replace the recliner foot rest.
Has anyone else had to replace a footrest on their recliner sofa?

We replaced the front of our couch...was just 6 screws.

I'd imagine the footrest would be 2-3 screws on each side, attaching to the arms.

Can you post some picture of the underside of the footrest?

We were able to replace the foot rest that was torn today. Once you are able to release the chairs (2 bolts) from the floor and turn the chair over it was a fairly easy job. It was just a matter off taking out the staples that held the seat cushion and foot rest to the frame. Replacing the new seat cushion and foot rest and the re-stapling the entire new part to the chair. (Note) Use the other chair for reference if you have any doubts how the new cushion and foot rest gets stapled in.
