    hand replacement?

    ok I know this sounds silly but I am a little new and don't want to break any thing. I am trying to replace a hand for a T1 and have a second body that is vintage with the opposite wrist crack so I thought I would make one complete non cracked body. help.....

      Run the arm under hot water and get it nice and warm. Then with a pair of pliers grasp the base of the hand and pull. The hand and the plug will pop put.

      If you see the plug not wanting to come run it under the water a bit more


      Think B.A. Where did you hide the Megos?

          I've always found it easier to just replace the whole arm

            If the just the hand is broke, and not the pin/joint itself, just push the pin that holds the hand into the joint through, replace the hand and reinsert the pin.

              Replacing the arm is soooo much easyer.
