Greetings all. My wife broke our in-dash cup holder (it won't go back in). I got a price of $56 bucks from the dealer. Do I need the dealer install or can I do it myself (directions??).
Thanks

Anyone want to buy mine??

Thanks for the pdf. Do you think I can do it without the tool?

Probably not. But I think you could make a tool from a thin T-handle Allen wrench. Just grind a point on it and bend it over in a vise. Or use a regular Allen wrench, grind a point on the short bent-over section and then use Vice-Grips to twist it.
