Kinda late in the game to be asking this, but -- those of you who've done any customs using 25th- or RoC-construction figures, is there an easy way to remove the upper torso from the abdomen/pelvis? Or do you have to resort to cutting & re-gluing the two halves of the upper torso?

The particular figure that's prompting me to ask is Reactive Impact Armor Scarlett -- I'd like to take her belt off without cutting or over-stretching it and the way to do that seems to be by removing her upper torso. I've tugged at it a bit but it obviously isn't coming off as easily as a head, and I didn't want to try and force it in case I'm going to snap something.

Thanks!

Hasbro recommends a small hammer.

I think a lot of people use a blade or vice though. Haven't tried myself yet.
