Ducato arm rests

[TheTwoOfUs]

Today one of the armrests on our swivel seats decided that it wasn't keen on being in one position and made a break for freedom. I had my arm on the rest (passenger) going round a roundabout and I was supporting myself lightly on the rest when it suddenly gave way and now spins freely. I have noticed that there is a pin about 4mm dia. halfway out of the armrest. Does anybody have any parts lists, manuals or videos relating to the removal and re-instatement please?

No manual but this photo may help.

We had a similar problem, but in ours the pin had bent.
Ours was quite difficult to repair as I had to straighten the pin in-situ which wasn't easy.
I could only get it partially straightened but enough to get one side clear and then pull it out inwards.
Once I had got it straight it pushes into the hole that you can see on the outside of the arm.
You need to push it through until it locates on the hole on the inside of the arm behind the seating mounting.
To get access to the inside you need to remove two \ three bolts from the side of the chair and remove the complete arm.
Turn it upside down and there are three \ four screws that release the padded section from the mechanism.
Let me know if you need further .

Because the van is in storage it might be a while before I can get back to you with an update.
