This could not have come at a better time. I have this exact same love seat and the recliner on one side needs to be removed and serviced. The mechanism binds up and won’t stay in the closed position.

I have a lazy boy recliner style 41U7222. It’s an oversized recliner. I requested and received the replacement parts for the footrest. However, when I began to put it back together I noticed that it was not exactly the same as the original parts. I contacted Lazy boy and they said that the correct parts were sent and then said that they would send a tech to assist for a charge of 199 dollars. Have you experienced them sending the wrong parts? I am not exactly dumb and took photos as I took the recliner apart but it’s still not working properly. The plastic part that assist the foot rest up and down loses contact with the metal part causing the foot rest to flop down.

@BrianAdkison-xw4vl - Yes, receiving the wrong part(s) is not uncommon. However, one has to be able to determine whether the replacement part is different because it's an updated version of the original, or whether they simply sent the wrong part. If you took photos of the old part, simply take photos of the new one for comparison. Send them over to La-z-boy so that they can see they don't match up.

@reclinerrepairguy4155 I’ll take it back apart and send it to them. I’m not going to let them try and get their 200 dollars

How about La-Z-Boy “bearing bracket sub assembly” replacement? I have received parts from La-Z-Boy with the following catalog numbers: 42970069-00L 42970069-00R Do you have a video that covers this procedure?
