Many thanks for the assistance mate. Will give it a go this weekend, my brother-in-law has a soldering iron.

Good luck mate!! Let us know how you get along.

No luck today unfortunately mate. Had the soldering iron on for quite a while but nothing was coming apart. Oh well, will just leave it in car mode for the time being. Thanks again for the help.

Damn. Sorry to hear it didn't work.

Is your concern about gluing it whilst is on the joint is that the glue might stick to the elbow joint and glue the joint shut so it cannot move? If so you could try a 5 sec fix liquid plastic pen instead. You apply a small bit of the glue over the top of the plastic and use an ultra violet light to harden it in seconds. Less chance of accidentally having the glue seep into the joint.

Yes I tried to glue it but the arm was getting stuck each time, that's why I wanted to pull it all apart. Thanks for the idea, I'll give it a try.
