    T1 hand swap

    I'm sure this has been talked about many times before but the search feature won't let me search T1 because the word is too short . Anyway, i'm needing to do a hand swap on my T1 Soldier Ape. I'm guessing i need to do wrist stem and all. Any tips for performing this operation? Is it as simple as boil and pop? Thanks in advance.

    Boil and pop. I just need a bunch of them recently. Microwave some water in a glass jar for 1 minute. Stick forearm with attached hand into the water for 15-20 seconds. Then grab a towel and grab the hand, with the towel, at the base of the peg where it enters the forearm and gently pull in one direction. Should pop off easily. Don't force the pull or it will break the the plastic on the rivet. Dunk in water for 10s again if you need to. Do not leave in hot water for a long duration and pull plastic. Can be damaged.
    Hope this helps.
