Sharon,
Unscrewing the know won't do it.
There is a shaft at the pivot point in the arm that connects to the back rest.
On that shaft, between the arm and the back rest is a drift pin (I think that's the name).
The right tool is a punch of the correct size and a hammer to drive the pin through the shaft and out the other side. You may be able to do this with the seat in place. I took my seats out to do it. After the arm is off there will be maybe 1 1/2 inches of shaft stub showing that comes out from the back rest.
Bill

    Does anyone know if there's  a good way to remove the left passenger seat (left) arm on a 91 westy?  Do you just unscrew the arm adjustment nob?  I am going to need the space between the captains chairs to move around while traveling.
