Don't worry, it safe. I change arms all the time to get the look that I
want for a minifig. The best way to do it is to leave the hand on so
that you have more leverage. Turn the arm so that it is perpendicular to
the front of the torso. Then pull away parallel to the torso. The arm
will snap off. To push it back in, just line it up with the hole and
push hard.
You can also remove the legs from the hips by wiggling gently and
slowly moving outward. This is more difficult though, and might make the
leg joints a bit looser.
