How do I remove the center bar from a LEGO® bucket? From Larry Pieniazek: ! Assuming you might want to reuse the bar someday, you need to preserve the tangs on the ends of the bucket pivots. Get a table knife, the kind thats thick and wide bladed, but not sharp. A butterknife works too. CAREFULLY.. slide the knife betwen the bucket handle and the bucket side. Twist the knife to push the handle away from the bucket. This puts a strain on the tangs on the end of the bar. Use your fingers to pinch these tangs together while continuing to twist. The handle should pop off. Do this on both sides. Then spread the bucket to get the bar out. If youre gentle and careful you wont deform the plastic, but if you force it you will break the tangs off. I have lately been able to achieve 100% success but when I started doing it was only at about 60%. |
