Volks, Well, read many a post by all of you about tightening these adjustable arms. Checked the archives too. Decided today I'd try to tighten mine up (the right driver's side wobbles from side to side). It still adjusts fine up and down but the sideways wobble is annoying. Anyway, I drove the rolled pin out of the pivot point between the seat and the arm (a minor PITA) and figured the whole thing would plop off in my hands. Not so. No amount of tugging, cajoling, nor heated language would get it to budge. The holes for the pin went out of alignment but up and down, not side to side. Its just so darned tight in that junction that I couldn't figure out what to do next and I don't want to break anything. So, I put the pin back in and came in to seek your advice. Any ideas?
