btw, if its any easier for you, submerge his arm in hot water and pull the ratcheting joint completely out. then you can work on it with no obstruction. this trick is excellent for getting pegs to stay in body parts that keep falling out due to poor assembly (they didnt push the peg in far enough when the material was soft). im kind of wondering if you can pry the joint into pieces so you can glue together what you need, they are snapped together. it would make it easy to fix my ninja. heres a pic of what the band looks like on my ninja, btw.........
Im posting this 2nd pic to show what i did. When i got home i saw the ring was broken in half. If you dont have the other piece youll have to do this. All i had was green so i had to paint it afterward. Hope this helps.
