    I can't remember exactly, (it also depends on the model of seat), but I am thinking you undo the zipper, pull back the covering to expose the joint and there is a spring clip that holds it on.

    Make of seat would help.
    On most, there is a zipper by the armrest.
    Undo the zipper, and then push the armrest into the seat, this will allow you to pull the clip out and remove the armrest.
    I have fixed the ratcheting type by screwing in a self drilling screw/bolt where I want it to stop, and that has worked.

    the Only Identifying Mark I Have Been Able To Find On These Seats Is "National" On The Seat Back Adjustment Knob. There Is No Zipper Near The Armrest . I Try Pushing In The Vinyl Around The Post For The Armrest But I Don't SeeHow Its Attached.

    There's a seam between the armrest and seatback it's held together with Velcro. It should come off that way.

    It may be just as easy to swap seats. Usually 4 bolts under the seat cushion that holds it to the base.

    Hmm Its That Tough Huh? You Would Think For A Part That Would More Likely Not LasT As Long As Th Seat Itself They Would Make It Easier To Change Out.
