Has anyone installed the passenger side arm rest themselves? Is it difficult? I'm not mechanically inept, but I need instructions. Thanks.

I did and it wasn't hard at all. However, to tighten the nut I had to use a pair of needle nose pliers as my sockets were two thick to fit the hole in which it sits. I always wonder why that just didn't come standard. Seems like a cheap-skate thing for Toyota to do.

Thank you tommyboy for the info. I agree - seems a cheapo thing for Toyota to do. Also seems nasty to charge $250 for parts & labor when I can get the arm rest for $79. Thanks again.

Attached a pdf file that covers the passenger side arm-rest install. Hope the attachment works.
