Flexsteel Captain's Chair Arm Rest Removal

[@PeterLGଈ]

8 years ago, huh? Thankfully some things stay on TH-cam seemingly for ever! Thanks for uploading this super simple instruction. It sure beats using an oxy torch! Mine have the slide release in one arm and the rotary lock release in the other but they're easy to work out. Thanks again.

Thank you!! I reupholstered a chair and couldn't get the arms back on.... this was a lifesaver!!

This video was basic and to the point. Exactly what I need to repair my rv seats. Thank you.

Thank you for this video! I have a 94 Fleetwood Flair. I'm reupholstering the cloth captain's chairs with my total remodel. I have a problem with the driver's chair rubbing on the booth when swiveled. So I needed to alter the arm rest. This made it so much easier when sewing my new seat covers. I appreciate you sharing this content!

OMG THANK YOU! I was about to dismantle the entire chair. I when through EVERYTHING else first. I did this and I haven't gotten them out yet but it definitely does. This. It's a 1993 Chevy Vandura Captains chair. I bolted it to my floor for a sim rig I built. It's made for long trips so I figured it was the best seat in and WEC Racecar. Lol. But I'm short. The arm rests are all wrong. Your the MAN! THANK YOU

[@stevejorgensen8123]

thanks a million, I have trying to figure out how to remove that damn arm rest for years

[@ernieroberts56]

Just bought an old van. I'm working on the seats thanks for the information it was great.

Thank you my friend for your advice on how to unlock my pontoon boat sidearm rest which became locked in the upright position somehow. A firm push inward along with a timely rotation returned it to normal operating condition. So simple...... Once you know how. I was very concerned about breaking it using undue force and not knowing how to release it. You made my day, thanks. Brian - Lake Talon Ontario

thank you, I have the Flexsteel chair and tomorrow I'll find out which one.

[@ryanraguth9387]

If i want to get them recovered how do I take off the flex steel emblem off

[@renatesmith6505]

Your instructions worked for removing the arm rests. Now I’m ready to reinstall and am stuck! I can’t get the arm rest to catch back in. Does anyone have any hints for me?

[@vitianrobinson4749]

thanks, I took the screws out, but could not get the black handle off. I made a slit and worked it around.

[@rvvanlife]

Thank you so much, this was a great help

[@leestevens8396]

Thank you so much, it worked and was just as easy as you said.

[@ylacasse]

Thank you!!! Now i need to find a new arm rest... Great video, thanks again!!!

[@davidcohen9549]

Perfect explanation.

[@skrapenpennies9947]

Great video I would've never figured that out

[@lamarcusholmes5735]

how to I let the armrest down on the chairs in my 78 chevy van

[@davidkinley1508]

Do you know how do you remove the metal flex steel faceplate? Thanks

[@hammeredscout]

Thank you. Just what I needed.

[@ramblingarnolds4501]

Glad we could help!!

[@vitianrobinson4749]

How do I take off the levers under the handle, that recline the back seat

[@ramblingarnolds4501]

+Vitian Robinson Ours were held on with a couple screws, once removed they pulled free from the seat and had a cable which linked the handle to the actual actuator in the seat. For our purposes we just left the cable attached.

Great tip , thanx !. Hope it works on my chevy van . Better than using a 2Lb. sledge

[@ezcamping8887]

[@seau2007]

Good info...but damn.... you woke the dog up.

[@lisagagnon5325]

Great, you removed it, so why does the title mention fixing it?

[@DirtyMikeHoncho]
