Removing ball joints

Does anyone know how to remove a ball joint from a BB cloth body?

I am not sure what BB body has ball joints?

Hello and thank you for your reply. I guess I should have said, the plastic joints for arms and legs. Do you have any idea how to remove the joint? I tried and couldn’t remove it from the arm of the cloth body.

How will you attach the limbs if you remove the joints?

Heat them with a hairdryer then you can pull them off. Not sure if you mean you want to reuse them or not. Usually they are loose after if you try and put them back together. Not sure there is any way to get them off and still keep them in their original condition.

Thank you for your reply. I have a 3/4 arm and full leg cloth body from BB. What I am trying to do is remove the arm joints so the body can take full arms. There is enough material once I can get the joints off and sew the area to receive the full arms. I will try heating them and hopefully it will work. Once again thank you for your suggestion.

Hi Pia, I can attach the arm limbs once I remove the joints. There is enough material from the 3/4 arm body. I can then sew the opening to accept the full arm.

Sounds like you have a plan… hope you can make the casing to hold the zip tie for a full arm!
