I realized I should have read the archives before I posted, so I read the archives.  I can see this roll pin, but that leads me to another question.  How hard is it to get that roll pin back in there after I get it bolted back up?  Can I put some blue locktite on the machine screws that hold the armrest onto the seat so it doesnt fall off again?

Thanks for all your replies,

Jeff

I just read Brendt's ( sorry if I got that name wrong ) thing on
it.........on his site. It's quite well done !  and I see Ben T. on there
too.
That type of pin is called a 'roll pin' btw.

The arm is held with a pin to the bracket that is bolted to the seat.   If
you hit the pin out, you can bolt the bracket back, if you find the little
bolt that fits flush when tightened.
Not an easy thing to do.  If you are in the Seattle area, I can do it for
you.
