Really glad I kept sorting through the many videos from others until I found yours. It is spot on for the same repair on my 37 year old Memphis Folding Stair brand. Great idea to use saw instead of drilling out the rivet. Key was to undo the bottom bolt to release tension on the spring to access the pivot plate. Many thanks!
THANKS FOR POSTING THIS! I'm not super handy but I try, however after reading the instructions about needing 2 people I was about to hire a handy man to help. I can see why the official instructions would say you need 2 people, but it can be done safely by one person. Saved me the hassle and expense of another person, cheers!
Great content. I was lucky, All I had to do was tighten the spring adjuster. On mine, some nice person put an eye bolt to connect the spring to the ladder strut.
I wish you would’ve showed the reciprocating sawing off, of the existing rivet. I’m not sure if you just zaw-saw the whole existing metal arm?, or you just focused on the cutting the center rivet?
My ladder part like this one is bent out of shape, anyone know the reason for why it would be bent out of shape? Too much tension? I’ll have it replace the same part, thanks for the video
Thank you for the helpful video! Such a Godsend. Because of your video I was able to successfully install new attic arms.

Thanks! It actually helped me.
Thanks for this video!! It was super helpful. I hadn’t thought of a sawzall to get that rivet off, but it worked great!
Great video. Exactly what I needed. Thanks for sharing.

Is your ladder number W2210 ? I have the same problem

Replace spring.. too much tension
it would've made this video much more legit and complete if you showed the ladder
folding up into the attic smoothly.
