you DONT remove the 5k armrest to take the doorpanel off.

steps for a '84-'88 5k doorpanel removal.
-unscrew doorlock buttons
-remove 2 screws at each side of top of doorpanel 
-remove little plastic triangles at corner of window (small phillips)
-remove screw under finger pull interior doorlatch (might be covered by cap)
-pull out interior doorlatch escucheon (sp?) (bite me, im not french LOL)
-remove screw behind there
-pry off interior doorhandle cover w/ thin bladed screwdriver (it will go 
flyin so watch it)
-remove screws behind that
-thin bladed screwdriver or putty knife to pry around perimeter or whole 
doorpanel, carefully popping plastic tabs out
think thats it, i havent removed 5k doorpanels since last summer..
