Buzz Lightyear joint repair

Correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't Buzz's arm get broken off in the movie?
Today my son broke his Buzz Lightyear's arm at the elbow joint.  Now I'm not sure if all the joints are similar, but I suspect that they are, and could very likely be fixed the same way should they break.

Regardless, we have a toy with a broken limb, which means it's not being played with, and as we all know a happy toy is one that is being played with.  So let's get to work!

Step 1 Preprare for surgery

Prepare your work area.  Find a nice space where you can setup shop and keep a couple tools and store the screws.  To repair a broken elbow joint you will need to remove 6 screws.  These are located on the back, and underside of the arm.
The screw that is located in the shoulder is easiest removed if you rotate the shoulder joint so that the screw is facing downward into what would be the armpit.
