Hi folks, Jan, a friend of mine, couldn't sleep last night, so he thought of building something, which couldn't be able to get apart again. And he was succesful. See the structure at: (URL) anyone got some ideas of getting "it" apart again? Regards, (...) (23 years ago, 28-Mar-01, to lugnet.build) !

(...) See (...) My starting point would be to use a large Technic beam to push out the Technic beams from the grey connectors. Then the four vertical Technic bricks would be loose and then you can take easily apart the other bricks. Greetings, (...) (23 years ago, 28-Mar-01, to lugnet.general)

Ouch. My first thought was that you could push the axles through, but looking closer, I see those are axle connectors, and so those are two length 3 axles, not one length 6 axle. So, the axles cannot be pushed through them. Hmmm. It looks to me that (...) (23 years ago, 28-Mar-01, to lugnet.general, lugnet.build)

(...) See (...) I'll add my 2c. I'd be trying to lift one of the "outside" 1x6 beams off the 1x2 plates, just enough to slide it off the #3 axle. If that fails, use some thin-nosed pliers to remove one of the axles. ROSCO (23 years ago, 28-Mar-01, to lugnet.general)
