I may try that next but I'm not confident I'm getting this pin back in. The end that's poking out isn't flat enough to use a pin pusher on now.
comment in response to post
I mean, don't do what I did. I think I've pushed the pin the wrong way. Couldn't get it moving the other way. Gonna see if I can salvage it soon. You can do it without pushing the pin if you have a very thin screwdriver to get that bottom screw.

The lesson to learn here is to ignore me when I think I'm gonna fix something.
comment in response to post
Right, ordered a pair of pliers. I think I have pushed this pin out the wrong side. I would not move at all from the other side though. If I mess this up more I may buy a replacement and see if anyone wants this one to try to fix themselves.

One way led to the pin pusher buckling the pin. The other way got it a bit of the way out but now it won't budge. Pin pusher went as far as it could go. Need to find some pliers. Think I messed up the end of pin on the side that's out cos I can't push it back now.

Not sure I can punch it back in. Tried and it's just slipping off.
comment in response to post
I might have messed up this one. Some people seem to have just used a real thing screwdriver to get to the second screw but I don't have one. Now this pin is partially out but will not budge any more.

Ok. This is stuck. Some people online say the hammering approach won't work but I know people who say it does. I can't get it to move a millimetre now. Lord knows how it'll go back in. Let this be a lesson to all of you eh. You lot and your hubris.
comment in response to post
Yeah this does not want to move. The pin pusher had the best effect but can't make it go any further without pushing the plastic aside.
comment in response to post
Could really do with knowing where my pliers are now.
comment in response to post
Ok, I got movement using the pin pusher on the correct side. You push the pin from the front. You'd think the grippy side would be at the end with more plastic but it's not. Now to get this out.
comment in response to post
Man, amateur hour here. Having no luck getting that pin to budge at all.
comment in response to post
Getting no movement at all. Caused some stress to the plastic too.
comment in response to post
Not having a ton of luck knocking the pin out. You knock it through from the back right. Ahem.
comment in response to post
Right, that didn't work. Couldn't get it gripped in fully. Bent one pin. Let's try the hammer.
comment in response to post
So there are tools to knock the pins out with a hammer but I think this is more my speed. You use it by locking it either side of the pin and screw the pin out.
comment in response to post
This'll be an adventure! Wonder if I can screw it up and serve as a warning on the dangers of such hubris!
comment in response to post
Now you may be able to find ways of knocking that pin out but I thought this was a perfect chance to get a whole kit of pin removing tools. About £5 off Amazon. You'll also need a precision screwdriver kit. One that can reach far enough into the screw hole to remove it.
comment in response to post
So we'll need to undo two screws. One easily accessible one under the shoulder and another under the hinge. The hinge for the shoulder gets in the way of that one though so we'll need to knock a pin out first.

The problem is caused by these 2 little nubbins on the combined modes elbow joint. See, they're meant to be on the other side. They make the top chest piece sit slightly out of place meaning the arms won't tab in.

Best channel out there for this sort of nonsense.

Still a hefty lad but not quite "what am I doing with my life?" Hefty.

The game key thing is super off-putting too. I think some of these would have done fine if they were regular carts.

Might need Liam and J Swags to act as security around you at TFN this year cos it sounds like you'll have a crowd of screaming fans following you.

Wish I had never sold my copy of guardian heroes. Mostly cos it's way more expensive now to get back. Treasure's art back then was it's whole own thing. Don't think anyone was quite doing that style.
comment in response to post
I need to get back on it. Doing real bad at finding them question mark panels.

You know, as I treat this account more like my normal social media here, compared to how I did over on Twatter, I must bewilder some of the non-middle aged Brits from time to time.
comment in response to post
Lol. Auto blocked by the trump enablers group I used as a blocklist. Love that I don't even have to do anything on this site to avoid these turd baskets.

Fast Fusion is real flipping good. It's like a perfect midpoint between Wipeout and F-Zero. Pro tip though... You have to buy the GPs so be sure to unlock those before buying new vehicles or you'll have to replay the races.
