    Not so much customizing, but repair. I figured customizers would know lots of stuff. [img]wink.gif[/img]

    I just had a peg break off in a joint. I tried drilling it out, but obviously that just makes the peg spin. How would you guys suggest I get it out?

    That may have worked, but now the peg is mangled with a hole in it. Perhaps I'll give it a try with a screw.

    I've had no luck with those situations.

    I've ended up leaving the stuck pegs in the holes. [img]frown.gif[/img]

    Bah, my drilling attempt ruined any chance of getting it out. Now there's a hole and the screws just rip right out.

    I just used some white glue and put the things head back on. (Grid Alien)

    I hope CS comes through, but I highly doubt they will.

    mini-torch [img]biggrin.gif[/img]

    I melt everything that pisses me off [img]wink.gif[/img]

    it'll either soften it enough to pull it out, or melt it right into the body! [img]wink.gif[/img]

    bend a safety pin so it has a VERY small hook on the end.
    go fishing.

    I've done this.
    it will work.

    big pain in the ass, though.
