After watching the video I cut off the threaded portion of a hex stainless steel bolt and used the shaft to make the pin. Some Gorilla glue and it was good to go. I never would have figured out how to remove or install without this video. Thank you for making it.
Thankyou for your information. I was able to fix mine after watching your video. I also have a quicker more viable fix that anyone can do themselves. The pin is a 3/8" pin. I was able to find a perfect fit after going to my local hardware store. I was thinking I could cut a clevis pin and epoxy it in the hole or even better I found a compression pin that was 3/8"x2". I cut it in half with a Sawzall and it worked perfectly. I drove it in the hole with a hammer till it seated all the way in and that's not coming out, ever. Took me a bit finagling it back in and it works perfect. I checked the other side and wouldn't you know that pin was missing as well. I used the other half and did the same thing and I have a new chair. All for $1.29. Thankyou for your video. I hope if you need to do it to the others that this will help you and anyone else that comes across this problem. I'm gonna get another compression pin and cut it so I'm ready when the other seat does the same thing. Literally took me 20 minutes cause I didn't know what to do to put it back in until I figured it out. I did the other side in 5 minutes. Goodluck.
Thank you. Awsome simpe video. My arm rest on a brand new axis motorhome just fell out. Watching your video and reading the comment allowed me to repair it. The pin fell out and wss jammed in the slot. A paper towel, tooth picks and needle nose pliers allowed me to retrieve it. Reinstalled and probobly better than new!! Lol

Great video! Thanks for that. Just bought a 1988 G20 conversion van from California. One of the back seat arm rests came off. Now I know how to fix it.
Your video saved me a ton of time. My 1997 conversion Chevrolet express had the same issue. After I couldn't find the pin, either, I bought one and tried it. The arm wouldn't go down past half way... I took the passenger arm on, to see if the length of the replacement pin was off. The passenger arm was the same---half way. So, I took the seat cover off to see the mechanism and see what the problem was. The original pin was jammed in it! A quick smack with a hammer, and it was out. Thanks for your video!
I’ve been pushing and tugging on those seat armrests for months trying to figure out how they come off!!! Thanks so much. Took 20 secs after seeing your video.
Very smart thinking going to the machime shop. As for the executive decision.....I wouldn't of video taped it and I'm sure your wife would have never caught on. Now the she has the evidence...LOL
Now you need to forget how to fix the armrests so Rebecca won't ask for hers back. Thanks for showing us how to remove them. I never thought to push in & rotate backwards.
Great video Ben and Rebecca (hope i spelled that correctly). Thanks for the info. I need to fix the armrest in my truck, and I can't wait to see if it works the same way. I'm sure you enjoyed your trip up CA 395. I drove it from Hesperia to Lake Tahoe. There are some great little towns near the California/ Nevada state lines.
For months Ive been messing with my chair arm. This video helped. Been watching ya'll for awhile I must have missed this video. Had to be when I moved to Alabama. Good excuse as any.
I really like your chanel and like watching with my family. I am not really sure why you have to cuss as you do. I think that your subscribers will go higher if you refrain from those words.
I was referred to your channel for this video specifically. Great job and information. We had the same armrest pop off our motorhome and haven't found any good info on how to put it back on until now. Thanks for the video and hope to have mine back on in a couple of days.
that's what I'm trying to find. I can't seem to find the spot that actually lets the chair turn. Maybe mine just doesn't have one. but I'm not positive on where to even find where one would be.
I may not post on all your videos but I have watched them all. Wish I could give 2 thumbs up this video.Made me laugh.

❤ your video's 👍, doing great ben, and i am with you Rebecca broke it 😁😁😁😆😆
What size pin did he use. I would go off of the other one but the stationary pin is a larger pin. So what I need is the pin that was gone length wise.

Glad I could help
Dowel pin at hardware store, .25 cents
I’ve been pushing and tugging on those seat armrests for months trying to figure out how they come off!!! Thanks so much. Took 20 secs after seeing your video.
Too funny.
You can buy a roll pin at the Iocal hardware shop for about a dollar
Good video! Our new to us motorhome captain chairs are now fixed.
Hello from Ireland.
Happy to help.
Exactly what I needed. Thank you!
my wife just rolled her eyes at me with the whole "executive decision" comment...freaking hilarious. Great fix.
funny thing is if you did bring it to the upholstery guys, they wouldn't have a fix for this and you would probably of had to pay...good job.
I think there will be a LOT of eye rolling about the "executive decision" lol especially in 3 weeks or so.
I'm really happy to see this video. My driver seat armrest fell off this morning. Your video helped me to fix it! Thanks!
Great , showed me how to remove arm. Swapped pass n put on drivers side.
Job done in 10mins thanks to you.
Happy to help.
Could you put an armrest like this on a golf cart ?
Technically anything is possible….
Great job ... thank you!
real af
Did you try a magnet?
Good thinking on the armrest, that chair would have been a pain to take apart👍🏻
Thanks I was trying to figure out how to get them off to put on my new cheap seat covers. I never use them really dont need them in my Class C
Very smart thinking going to the machime shop. As for the executive decision.....I wouldn't of video taped it and I'm sure your wife would have never caught on. Now the she has the evidence...LOL
Did you think of running a magnetic around the upholstery
For me the pin was right under the slot where it goes in. Using thin needle nose pliers I was able to remove it.
Helpful hint on how to take the armrest of love that it was not buried to deep in the video.
Now you need to forget how to fix the armrests so Rebecca won't ask for hers back.
Thanks for showing us how to remove them. I never thought to push in & rotate backwards.
I love the "weld the pin" idea. Both of mine are loose. Would like to find somewhere to purchase the pin.
Thanks. A metal shop could easily fabricate the pin.
@@outliersoverland Found some on Amazon, 3/8 x 1", (10 in a bag) $9.
3/8"x2" compression pin. Cut it in half. Works perfect. Drive it in with a hammer till it is seated. Don't need any welds or glue.
This helped my a bunch. Thanks!
You’re welcome. It’s surprisingly easy!!!
I bought some knee high tube socks and installed them on my armrests. Saves on wear and tear and can be taken off and washed.
Great video Ben and Rebecca (hope i spelled that correctly). Thanks for the info. I need to fix the armrest in my truck, and I can't wait to see if it works the same way. I'm sure you enjoyed your trip up CA 395. I drove it from Hesperia to Lake Tahoe. There are some great little towns near the California/ Nevada state lines.
Gotta do the same on my E150. Many thanks.
glad it helped.

Great job ben
LOL...."I didn't break the armrest".....I knew that was coming.
Enjoyed the video, got a question. How long does the new pin extrude from the existing pin! Thanks!
Adding Armrest Rotations to the PM check list is a brilliant idea. Put it on the same interval as tire rotations and life be better all around :-)
Good ole Nellie will get along just fine with these repairs. I must say I learn something new all the time.
Excellent!! Job well down. I don't think Rebecca will even notice. LOL :)
The Admiral. Haha! I love it! You might be guilty of treason.
You have a great sense of humor dealing with a Vehicle issue.
Thanks, I didn't know how they fit in to the seat, and now I do!
I’m in San Diego as well and I might need to visit the shop you took your arm rest to. Do you mind sharing name of co?
I can’t remember the name, but it was on Federal across from college grove.
Any welder could probably do this.
I really like your chanel and like watching with my family. I am not really sure why you have to cuss as you do. I think that your subscribers will go higher if you refrain from those words.
I really like you guys. thanks
This video just earned you a new subscriber. Priceless!
The Captain of The Ship needs to be Happy behind the wheel
Bet that he pin is lying on the floor under the seat.
I was referred to your channel for this video specifically. Great job and information. We had the same armrest pop off our motorhome and haven't found any good info on how to put it back on until now. Thanks for the video and hope to have mine back on in a couple of days.
Hello. I'm glad the video was able to help you.
I hope you enjoy our channel.
Thanks for watching.
I love simple fixes like that. Way to go and thanks for sharing!
I have a 1996 Allegro, I can't seem to turn the drivers seat, any ideas?
that's what I'm trying to find. I can't seem to find the spot that actually lets the chair turn. Maybe mine just doesn't have one. but I'm not positive on where to even find where one would be.
way to go Benny !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I bet the pin is deep in hole cause I don't know what else?? Lol. Great thinking
His and Hers Vlogs great job👏👏👍👍👍
I'm sure we all like your videos!!!
Lol love ur humor thanx 4 sharing

Nice job! You are handyman may I can use you a lot :) Thanks.
I wish I can fix things like you thanks.
Worked great thanks
Great DIY repair Ben .
I bet you could have put some electrical tape on the bad one to fix it
Subbed funny video
I though about JB Weld but opted to get a real weld.
Thanks
Lol! Love the drama ! Rebecca I believe you!
His and Hers Vlogs you two remind me of us😆! I get it.
Way to go Ben!
Great job!
A magnet might have come in handy...
