If there is enough sticking out to grip with needle nose pliers,you can dip the forearm in very hot water for 30 seconds or so,then grabbing with needle nose you should be able to pop it out.If there is nothing to grip,you can drill it out using a slightly smaller drill bit than the pin and pick the piece/pieces out. -

Yeah an awl or wire are great for removing/pushing the "pivot" pins out in the wrist/elbow. I was understanding that the "barrell" piece that goes into the forearm was the problem with the barrell part being broke off so you cant grip it.I dont think an awl will work for that part.Comment

Hmm, not having much luck. I need a pair of handless forearms for a custom.Looking for Green Arrow accessories, Doctor Who Sonic Screwdriver, and Japanese Popy Megos (Battle Cossack and France, Battle of the Planets, Kamen Rider, Ultraman) and World Heroes figuresComment

You need these with or without the "barrell" part of the joint in the forearm?[img]http://piecemaker.smugmug.com/photos/i-vVtL49p/0/L/i-vVtL49p-L.jpg[/img]Comment

Very kind of you. But yeah, just like that is the problem I face....I am having zero luck removing those disc pins without breaking them, and due to an injury I am permanently incapable of removing the broken pegs.Looking for Green Arrow accessories, Doctor Who Sonic Screwdriver, and Japanese Popy Megos (Battle Cossack and France, Battle of the Planets, Kamen Rider, Ultraman) and World Heroes figuresComment

Cool. I have very little leveraging strength in my left forearm, so I can't pull much with it.
