yes! i've done this now to all my armrests. it describes the procedure in
the bently manual. it's really not too difficult to do, but getting the pin
back in takes a flashlight and some patience.
sidenote; eagle hardware (may be called lowes in some places) has pins that
will replace the originals if yours are lost. they also have a large
selection of metric bolts, etc. it's quite nice, i'm usually able to find
replacement parts (bolts, nuts, screws, misc. rubber, etc.) there without
any problem. recently found bolts that match the originals for my middle
bench. sweet!
hope that helps out!
