I have a LazyBoy recliner chair that needs a fix.
I will try to describe the chair, and its problem.

The chair has wooden arms with wooden supports three vertical, round
'rods' (my word) each about 10" long and about 2" diameter. The
'rods' go thru round holes in the chair arms. When originally
built, the 'rods' look like they were made to stay in the arms by
having a small wooden wedge forced into the 'rods' so as to make
them stay in place in the arms. Wouldn't you know - the arms have
begun to pull off the 'rods'. Put it another way - the 'rods' now
portrude thru the arm holes and stick up about an inch.

There - I hope I have described the problem well enough that someone
can advise me how to fix this. I think the proper way to fix the
rods would be to remove the wooden wedge from each rod, and replace
it with another slightly bigger wedge to basically make the rod
stay in the arm's hole. Plus maybe a little glue?

From what's described, the plan to wedge and glue sounds right.
He plans on removing the wedge that's there, putting in a new
wooden one. IDK how easy they are to get out, but if they won't
easily come out, might another option be to get some small steel
wedges and just drive them in without taking old ones out? Do
they make such a thing?

There are small metal wedges that are used to repair loose wooden hammer
handles.

I just did a Google search for "hammer repair wedge" and saw a lot of links.
Then I clicked on Google Images for the same search and saw a lot of images
and examples there too.

Apparently, they sell these at hardware stores and maybe Home Depot, Lowes,
etc.
