Elbow swivel - does it come off by just forcing?

Posted in Custom Workstation

Hi all,

I was disassembling a figure for a custom and the peg broke (luckily the peg is stuck inside the arm which I wont be using). I thought I could replace the swivel with another one which has an unbroken peg, however I tried to pull the swivel after boiling it but it doesnt come off. I was wondering - is this possible at all? Or is it not possible to take it out without cutting something?
