I watched this video half way, tried it on a an arc trooper with red arms, broke one arm, and then heard the warning about brittle dark red plastic...
I am just glad that I intended to replace the arm, not put it anywhere else 😅

[@TheGunguy461]

I just rearranged some 501st trooper arms. I also replaced the arms before I saw the disclaimer at the end. Luckily, nothing broke!

I completely snapped my gold ninja minifigure a couple years back. That figure used the old brittle gold. Too bad

[@Sawgrass-TML]

that’s rough

[@StormOutWrestling]

I’m doing the same thing

[@StormOutWrestling]

Just tried to fix it torso cracked💀

[@Dr-Sex]

Same :( I would get another but they're so damn expensive. The Legacy one is a very nice fig that's included in an affordable (albeit retired) set. Swapping out the hood gets it closer to the original, but I like the new ones.

Brickscav.. i pull the arms forward and put a brick separator between the arms and torso and comes out with ease.

Put your hands like inside your shirt it makes it easier and less painful

[@AdamD-o8t]

I followed this tutorial and cracked my favorite torso on both sides

[@Conner-d3l]

For a grown man it is easy to pop in an arm for young boy this is hard as it takes so much pressure

[@joseramalho3297]

Building a forestman army was the exact reason why I searched a tutorial about replacing arms 😆👍

[@Rip_mink-p2u]

It solid not go in just really hurt me pointer finger

[@Timtendo.]

I have this one Sonic the hedgehog Minifigure and i don't want to crack the torso but the arms are chracked and i am scared Even with the tutorial. Are there safer ways?

[@luhngishideout6390]

It involves breaking the arms. Snap the arms into pieces with like a pair of pliers, and then the stud will be in the torso. Take something very fine and small, like an exacto knife and shimmy it above the stuff through the hole. Push down gently and it'll just come right out. A small price to pay

[@deborahhorvath2311]

Omg largest arm collection ever!

[@fulcan3rd]
