I'm sure the answer has been posted before, so apologies in advance---

 

Can this replacement be done without removing the door?

 

Thanks

So I bought these but cannot figure out how to install them. It feels like the arm should swing out?

it's in the closed position in your picture...pull the arm out stick it in the door and bolt in place

The PO of my car had spent a lot more on replacements, but they are the old style and the door only opened half way (odd). I thought I'd taken a picture of them in the car before disassembly, but apparently didn't.

Is it possible they were on backwards or reversed?

I'm being lazy asking before I go into my attic to find the parts and try reinstalling, but maybe someone can tell at a glance these are right or wrong.

I might just go ahead and order some of these newer style ones, but maybe this will motivate me to reinstall these to see if they were just oriented wrong.

So I can just bend these tabs and swing it out? That was my gut feeling, but the metal is thick and it made me pause.

I have upgraded door brakes on my other car and they are VASTLY superior to the stock style. If I can get these to work I'll report back, they seem stronger than the other upgraded set I bought years ago.

No, you need to pull it out to the right. See modified picture below

Well I'll be damned
