Is it hard to replace the handles on an Ashley recliner sofa?

If you're just replacing the handle with out replacing the cable it's just a matter of removing the 2 screws on the handle assembly, unhooking the cable from the old handle and attaching it to the new handle. The cable that came with the handle I ordered would not work; I had to use my old cable. I hope this is helpful.

I think they are pretty much the same. We turned ours over and worked from the open bottom. It was pretty easy on our couch, hope yours is also. This includes the cable and release as one piece. Just watch how you take the old one off.

There are screws that attached to the recliner seat through the holes on the D-RING handle. Also, there is an attachment on the frame at the bottom and toward the back of the recliner. You have an S shape connection at the end of the D-RING which attaches to a spring release. If you are taking off the old one that your wire broke, you can use those screws and remember how it was attached. If not, find some screw the right size and use washers to prevent slippage.

I don't believe the handle was made to be replaced, as it is molded onto the blade. There are no screws, rivets, bolts etc on the handle. I suppose someone with the right tools, know how and methods would be able to remove the current handle and manufacture another in its place. A job not for the average user I'd say.

My son-in-law replaced mine for me. He says it is not easy as you have to hold down the seat cushion while unscrewing the screws. He recommends using an off set screw driver or short handled one. Also there is a video on U-tube that shows how to do it. Good luck!

No easy way. I just had to force a stubby screwdriver in between the cushion and the frame.

I went and checked on mine. Best I can tell you have to remove the screws attaching the back rest to the handles. Then it looks like you can remove the handles (although I did not try). The back rest should slid up and out. This would not be something you would want to do regularly, I would think.

never measured it I have purchased 2 of these handles for my Ashley loveseat recliner and they worked perfectly if you have an Ashley recliner it should work. You can always go to the Ashley web site to get the specs.

NO! My husband is quite handy and was very frustrated because predrilled holes didn't line up. Also the bottom of the seats are mere cardboard and all have broken down. Also all the buttons have came apart and to be removed leaving holes. Absolutely a piece of junk!!!

No, the cushion is attached to a piece that is screwed onto the chair, so it cannot be removed. But if you want to replace the cushion, it should be easy to reupholster because you can easily just unscrew the sitting area, take it to the reupholster fairies, and voila!

the only hard part is the handle, just be SURE that when you secure everything, that the holes are lined up on the correct side (look for my old review, I think I went into more detail - it says it in the instructions, but even though all sides of the cover look the same, it really matters that you put everything in the correct lineup).PS: Marley is right, have a drink, take your time, have an extra set of hands available for the tricky parts

Not much help here as I have never tried to remove the handles. Never had to as it is a workhouse and very easy to keep clean.Ask the manufacture directly.

My husband put it together & said you can just unscrew the screws & replace the handles...

We do not have a video. Can you email me with more information regarding your furniture? Pictures would be helpful. We will do our best to provide assistance. Thanks, Angela with Recliner-Handles.

Either use screw from previous handle, go by local furniture store that sells the recliners, or take the handle by your local hardware store. One of those three options will fix you up!

Ron, our recliner had the mounting screw. One option for you is to go to good will and buy a $20 recliner for the parts. We bought the handle for ours and it was the wrong size. Sorry I could not be more help. Jessie

Yes, you just have to put the handles on (with a phillips head screwdriver).

There is an adjustment in the handle that can be made or the problem lies elsewere. My husband easily made the adjustment. We have been very happy with the handles! Hope this helps!
