Seems like mine has some glue on the bottom. I've been trying for an hour or so but still cant get it out. I've tried hot water, hell, even oil...
I've cut loose all the edges. There's no way its stuck on the sides.

Ummm...pull harder? I had trouble myself. But yea I had run a small knife on the sides to separate it from the head then just yanked it out. Maybe should want to leave it in the hot water longer? Dunno if that may cause damage to the paint job though.
 
Nah, it doesnt damage the paint.
I ended up using a blowdrier and a screwdriver. Heated it up to the point I could hardly touch it and yanked it real hard. Then finally that broken son af a biotch popped out.

Thanks for help though

Awesome news. Glad you got it out. He looks tons better without the giraffe neck. Tons! :hi5:
 
Im trying to do the neck mod right now, but the joint socket just doesnt pop out. Im using knife, scissors, pliers and hot water, but no matter how hard I try it just doesnt pop out. My fingers are already starting to hurt :(
Any advice?

Hit the gym more and build up them muscles? :dunno
 
You're a lucky son of a biotch then ! Cuz I cut the plug from every possible side, held it in boiling water for a minute or two, tried popping it out with small sharp scissors, knives, pliers, screwdriver.
Then tried getting some oil between the thing, but still no luck.
After that I finally tried heating it up with a blowdrier, TWICE, and THEN got it out, still with a lot of trouble.


The sad part is, I should hit the gym.

:lecture:lecture:lecture I don't think very many people had the issues you did getting the socket plug out. :huh
 
It took some work to get mine out, but it was pretty well glued in, I had to keep popping a small screwdriver between the plug and the head to break up the glue.
 
I recall it took a bit of work to get the socket out of mine. I was worried about possible doing damage to the head but thankfully only the sockets got a bit messed up.
