Subject:Re: Arm rest problem....removing the pin?!?!

I am not sure, but I believe the hole through which
the pin goes is tapered.  I know that the pins I have
removed look tapered.  I have had pins that refused to
come out.  Generally, they are inserted from the top,
so that they cannot fall out.  However, on one pin
that refused to move, I tried beating it down instead
of up - and it came right out.

Give it a try...
