re. armrest removal 200Q

[Thomas J. Donohue, Jr.]

Just a little BTDT...the allen screws are not supposed to come out of the
armrests...just loosen them up  a few turns and start wiggling the armrest until
it begins to slide off its mounts.  If one of the 3 screws seems to be too
tight, give it another turn or two and it will comply.  LOL. Tom
