The Left Elbow Joint (1)

Stage 1 – Left Elbow Joint (Part 1)

Step 1

Place the two Left Arm Elbow Joint Washers over the posts on the inside of the Left Arm Elbow Joint Cover.

These will act as slip joints to allow the elbow parts to rotate smoothly:

Steps 2-3

Fit the large holes in the Left Arm Elbow Joint (Upper) and Left Arm Elbow Joint (Lower) over these posts.

The longer Left Arm Elbow Joint (Lower) should be on the left, as shown. Make sure these are oriented correctly:

Thoughts

This all felt very familiar as we had to complete these steps on the Right Arm already. Nothing is secured yet here, so keep this assembly stored together until the next issue.
