The present disclosure provides an armrest assembly easily installed and removed while in service, and while also maintaining a discreet connection. The armrest assembly includes a pivot block holding an armrest and rotatably coupled to a frame member, for instance a fixed seat spreader. The pivot block and frame member have mating stop block features that allow the armrest to rotate while being restrained from motion in upper and lower positions. A central shaft common to the pivot block allows for rotation. A retention pin is installed perpendicular to the axis of rotation through the spreader and is received in an annular groove formed in the shaft to retain the pivot block while allowing its rotation.
