They treat their dolls as their daughters and don't like to see any in pain for too long.
Best wishes

I tried removing the part by turning all the bolts I can reach counter clockwise, but my arms are too weak to loosen any of the nuts.
Argh..... this is going to be a much longer struggle than I expected. But there is no turning back now.
I guess I need to do some weight training before I try again.
Dah!! This hurts me just looking at it..

It is incredible how much they do without doing anything.

Re: Advice with detached right hip
I managed to remove the U-shaped piece out, perhaps an engineer can explain how this happened
still need to remove the other piece
Re: Advice with detached right hip
You will first have to loosen and remove the bearing at the red arrow. This will allow you to remove the broken pin/bearing assembly. The blue arrow shows that this bearing surface is threaded into the hip tubing. The green arrow points to the nut on the top of the pin that broke off, which adjusts the rotation resistance of the leg. The pin is tapered, so the tighter you make the nut, the more resistance in leg rotation. You will need to cut higher up the hip to reach this nut when installing the new parts. I highly recommend you do NOT glue the silicone until you have throughly tested the joint tightness. You can use cling film to hold the silicone temporarily. I would give it a few days of testing, as you don’t want to have to cut her open again to re-adjust the bolt tension.
Best of luck and keep us informed.

Re: Advice with detached right hip
The amount of leverage the leg can exert on that weld point is tremendous. You should always make sure the leg is aligned correctly before bending it at the hip. It’s easy to tell it is straight by bending the leg at the knee and rotating the leg so the knee joint and knee is clearly facing forward. This will eliminate any side forces on the weld and allow the pivot bolt to move properly.
Re: Advice with detached right hip
I was able to find a heavier wrench in the garage and finally remove the other end.
Because I had no problem with my 161 Kayla (who is flourishing with Lika now) for 3 years, I am thinking if 163 dolls are more vulnerable due to her
longer legs.
I wonder if I can find a shop to weld this back for me, John is sending me a new replacement for free. But it would be nice to have a back up piece.
Better yet, a stronger piece with wider weld points.

Re: Advice with detached right hip
It was huge and heavy, thank heavens Trump's tariffs has hit everyone else but China. Everything was speedy and free.
Thank you very much John and DS Doll.
looks like John send me the whole spine and hip assembly. (uh dont tell me I might need it later.)
I am happy I have a spare, because I worry about her other hip, though it seems okay for now.
TO BE CONTINUED........
Re: Advice with detached right hip
Just take the nut off the top of the tapered pin and tap it out of the nylon sleeve. Most any shop can weld it. Just tell them your working on a robot. LOL
Re: Advice with detached right hip
Your advice was most helpful. After installing and removing the joints several times I think I have found a level
of tightness I wanted. There was a squeaking sound I could not get rid of, but later I realized the foams are pretty good so at sound proofing.
Patching her back up was quite messy.
I used way too much Permatex than I should and now this whole area wrinkles when under compression.
Still, I am happy with the result so far. I only hope her other hip will not break like this one.
Planning on washing her up, put her in some fresh cloths for a post op photo this weekend.

Re: Advice with detached right hip
I like to thank everyone that helped me thru those very dark and despairing days.
It was a very long but satisfying journey.
And now I think I am attached to this doll more than ever.
Never tired of gawking at her. Most stunning.
Special thanks to Jiayi and Haremlover, and of course John at DollSweet/Exdoll.
This wraps up my report. Thank you and have a wonderful day
