[W126 Coupe] Armrest issue

[Ernest Stephens]

I can't get the armrest in my 1987 560SEC  to move back in the up position to give me access to the center console, it only goes forward (down).  Apparently the mechanism has slipped 180 degrees.  I can't figure how to get into to armrest to correct this, anyone know the fix?
