Slide the swivel off the post
Notice the swivel from the Snake Eyes arm is slightly larger than the Shipwreck swivel. Before the Shipwreck swivel would fit on the Snake Eyes post the hole in the swivel had to be widened. I used the small grinding tip of my rotary tool to do this. It could be done with a drill if you have the right size bit.
Next place the replacement swivel on the post of the arm, then with the shoulder joint held open apply a very small amount of glue to cut end of the post. Be sure not to get any glue on the swivel. Once again, be sure your glue is made for use on all plastics or it won’t hold.
Firmly press and hold the shoulder together while rotating the swivel. This ensures the swivel will move freely while the glue sets.
