Is "the third arm“ = ”the third wheel "?
"I don't want to be the third arm."
What's the meaning of this sentence?
Can the "third arm" be instead of by "third wheel"?
Thank you.

The arms only obey to orders from the brain,
they can't take any decision, neither can have a single word into
a decision from the brain;
I think the phrase should be in a context such as:
-- I don't want to be my director's third arm
-- I refuse to be your third arm, if you need my help, I will also help you
in figuring out which help you need.
meaning: I don't want to blindly obey to orders.
Note: I am not really sure about my guess.
