How the hell to you get the legs off an AtAt?

[fuzzybuzzytoys]

So I got this loose AtAt and 3 out of 4 legs don't 'click' in place. So I'm thinking its something to do with the big screw that is holding them in place? (See attached)

First question, how the hell do you get the legs off to fix them. Second question, is this going to get em clicking again?

Help!

I completely agree with Chris. A good old yank should do the trick.

Did they come new without legs on and you slot them into place? I was wondering how they got that screw in place unless the legs just pull out of the slot.

Someone sell me an At-At! ...not a ****ed one though :lol:

One foot on the belly, two hands on the leg and pull as hard as you can. :wink:

Cheers guys..with my new found confidence I pulled those legs right off. And found the problem. Two of the 'cogs' at the top of the legs were broken hence they were hanging as loose. Now I need two cogs! Already looking in all the usual places

These are a bugger to get off, I found a little spray of silicone spray helped get mine off with out the feeling they were about to snap in half.

Yep as above and use a hair dryer to heat the plastic a bit, make it more durable...don't melt it though
