Broken Kwikee steps

Question

On my 06 Phaeton the metal connecting bar at the top of the bottom step has broken at a rivet spot. The top step is secure and the steps open a close properly.  Can this be fixed or do I have to replace the entire 2 step assembly?

Drill it out and use a bolt. I would at least try something like this before replacing the whole thing.

Kwikee does not supply that part, but Kwikee does sell the step without the Motor/Controller/Light and harness. You transfer all the electric/mechanical components to the new step. Doug

if you have to replace them check e-bay. you can buy new step's less gearmotor and controls quite reasonable.

Weld it or make a new one. By the time you weld it and clean it up so it pivots freely it might faster to cut a new piece and drill the holes.

For the cost and work to install a new set of steps I would do a lot of repairs.
