The link above is what I used as reference to do my repair of my 2007 Itasca Meridian 36G.

The HWH Corporation arm stats are:
Model AP33726
SN 2778



The replacement part from HWH is:
RAP92867 BRNG KIT MOLY




These are the bottom nylon busing that are broken



Here is a little bit closer shot of the bottom nylon bushings



The fist thing to do is remove the plate that is around the arm. Four bolts holds the plate on. use a 7/16 socket to remove.



Now you will see the top nylon bushing which will need to be removed. Remove the screw and then gently pry out the top of the busing. Note that the top busing is in two pieces. Once the top is removed you will be able to slide out the bottom part that sits on the top of the rail.



Here is just anther shot of the top nylon bushing after the plate has been removed.



I used a bottle jack and a bunch of wood to lift up the slide compartment. You will need to jack up the compartment high enough to get the bottom nylon bushings out. You can push the old bottom nylon bushings up from the two holes under each bushing.



Here are the two new bottom nylon bushings installed and the jack retracted.



Now just put the top nylon busing back the way your found it.

Good Luck!

Thanks for re-posting this. When I was at HWH last summer they replaced the bottom plastic, but didn't do the top :-( I didn't notice that until I was a couple days down the road. The tops not broken, but I'd of paid the $10 bucks or so for the new parts, since they had to do the labor anyway.

I choose to reuse the original ones even though my kit came with a replacement nylon bushings for the top. The size of the original bushings (white) were much larger than the replacement ones (black). The configuration of the replacements where also different than the originals.

Here are the original tops that I reinstalled.



Here are the parts that came with the replacement kit.
