sori, i thought tat is the screw tat need to be loosen, as tat tight screw is the one which make the shoulder difficult to 'go over' the block/tab. arm was not attached when i moved the hinge, as i want to try if the 'pin holder' will break up even there is no loading/stress. anyway, i m getting some shoulder (hinge) to try again.

reply from HLJ: "...the replacement (shoulder part is) about 1500 yen each . please contact parts@hlj.com if you would like to order them..." hope this help.

hi, after i found out my vf-1s shoulder broke, i get a replacement part from HLJ. HLJ sent me the replacement part. before i carry out the 'mini surgery', i decided to play with the part a while. as u c, the part act like a hinge. however, after a few swing, a crackline shows up. my conclusion is tat there is a problem with the material+ pin. even u loosen the screw to the main body, it is just a matter of time before the part break off...

ok. get the replacement part from hlj today. so, before i replace the shoulder plate, i play with it a while...just a few swing...a crack appear... i think is the material + pin problem. even u loosen the screw at the main body, it wouldnt help much...it it just a matter of time.
