I've converted a couple of Hasbro ROTS Obi-Wans with no problem, but now I'm doing a Master Replica Obi-Wan and can't get the chassis out. In his excellent tutorial, xwingband writes, "Slide the electronics out through the pommel end. This can be VERY difficult." In my case I've found it impossible. I can get the chassis down to where the tip of the tab that aligns the battery case is less than an inch from the bottom of the hilt, but it won't budge a bit further. I've tried pushing the chassis back up again, but it stops at the same spot when I try to push it down again. I can even twist the chassis inside the pommel a bit (with difficulty), but it seems to be caught on something. I spent the day hammering it various ways (and expecting the woman who lives below me to come up and complain), but it simply won't budge. Do I just need to take a sledge hammer to it, or is there something I'm missing?
