Armrest broke

[Wizard46]

1999 Coachmen class C, Passenger armrest broke. It rest in about 8 o'clock position when forward. It rotates all the way around to straight down and I can't get it off the seat. I know that you are suppose to push it in and rotate it back then pull it out. I have pushed it in and it still just rotates all the way around. Any suggestions.

Two possible problems (Well 3)

There is a pin in the shaft that hits a stop on the back of the hole in the seat.
1: Pin fell out (NOT your problem if that happened you could pull the arm rest out)
2: Stop bent so it's no longer a stop (Yup that happened) and
3: It's blocking the slot the pin pulls out from when you pull the armrest off
Suggestion pull and turn Pull and turn rotate all the way around Pull and turn You need to find the "Exit here" position.. if that does not work see if you can look into the hole (WITHOUT TEARING THE FABRIC) and find the "Exit" slot then see if you can punch it clear.. and I wish you very good luck with that trick.
