How to remove armrest from driver/navigator seat?

'16 Fleetwood Bounder - I would like to remove one of the armrests to take with me to shop for similar/matching vinyl (have a small storage device I want to make). I suspect there are only a couple or three seat mechanism manufacturers that supply seat frames to the RV industry so odds are if you have removed an armrest from your MH, mine will likely be removable in the same manor. I have felt around the armrest pivot looking for a release pin. I have placed the seat back in max travel, both fore and aft - that did not do anything to release. Where else might the armrest release be?

Lift the arm all the way up, push inwards at the pivot point, then pivot the arm backwards more till it stops, pull out.

You have to push in real hard with the arm vertical. I used my knee. Some arms you tilt back and some forward. Mine tilted back.

Thank you both for responding.

I went to the MH yesterday to remove the armrest. No luck in doing so. I pressed against the armrest pivot with my knee with the foot against the opposite seat pedestal for best leverage but I was unable to push the pivot inward at any point in the armrest's rotation.
