Chris...hope this helps:
You will need a small hammer, a punch with a flat end about 1/8 to 1/4
inch in diameter and probably 4 to 6 inches long, patience, and about an
hour or so. Using the drivers seat, outside (near door) rest, look down from
the top of the armrest where it joins the seat-side. Stick your finger
(s)down into the joint between the seat-side and rest and pull toward the
door, or squeeze the material toward the door. That should reveal the metal
pivot point that the arm rest swings on. It will also give you a better look
at the culprit of the looseness, the metal tab which is fastened to the
seat-side by two screws (which come loose after relpeated use). There is a
metal roll-pin about 3/4 to 1 inch long which goes through the metal armrest
female part, and through the metal tabl on the seat-side. That pin has a
flared or flanged end, and a taplered end. You need to drive that roll pin
out, using the punch and hammer against the tapered end of the pin. Since
the pin was likely installed downward, with the flared end up so it would
not fall out by gravity, you will have to drive it out from the bottom. I
used a small flashlight to determine their orientation to determine how to
remove them. Once the pins are driven out you will have to tug firmly on the
armrest to get it off. You can then get to the 2 screws holding the metal
tab onto the seat-side. I took mine off and put locktite on them before
reinstalling and tightening them. Although after you get the hang of this
exercise it is easy to do, I didn't want to struggle with it again soon.
Putting the pin back into the hole in that small space and tapping it back
into place takes patience. If this is not clear or you have questions, let
me know.
