DCUC female elbow swaps (problem solved)

DCUC female elbow swaps (problem solved)

Custom WorkstationHELP!!!!
Man, I thought sweeping DCUC figures lower legs were a pain in the arse. Not sure what I was thinking, but I was attempting to swap lower arms for two DCUC female figures at the the elbow pin. Removing them is easy, but I can't for the life of me get those little frail arms back onto the pegs. I'm totally regretting even attempting this now, but since the arms are off, I've got to get them back on one way or the other. I've boiled water, and boiled it again, and again, and I can't seem to get them on. Anyone got any tricks for this, I'm about to throw them through a window.
Thanks to all responders.

I had to walk away for a little bit before I injured myself or damaged a figure, lol. I don't foresee attempting this again anytime soon, but I finally got the arms on. THe main problem was the stupid pin kept turning so I couldn't get the second hole to catch. So I found by placing a pin under the mushroom part of the peg, that it held in place long enough to get the hole partly over, then I could carefully pull the pin out and get the lower arm on completely. And I thought knee pegs were a pain.
I guess it's my own fault. Was just about done with a Miss Martian custom when I decided I wanted to use open hands for a better look. Problem is the Supergirl base figures gloves have the pegs that insert into the lower arm which is completely opposite of any other female DCUC figure I've seen. So the only solution became switching out the whole lower arm. So that's done. Finally. Aaaaargh!
Thanks again, guys.
