>does it fuck friction?Depends on the arm and torso.
Is it a new piece from the cmf series? They are more bendy and seem to have less trouble with removing and reapplying limbs. Older pieces made of the more hard opaque plastic? These can be toughter to pull apart, more brittle and more prone to cracking.
Just try it out with some pieces to get a feel for it. Feel the different ways the plastic reacts.
Very soon you'll be able to 'feel' if the part is going to crack or give trouble just by only applying force and in part starting to pull it apart. You can hear it too. (Smooth feeling 'pop' is ok, squaky creaking sound is back off unless you are absolutely sure the part is in good shape and won't crack)
A cmf arm put on another cmf style plastic torso? Tend to have little problems, often never loses any friction. Some cmf arms may have more or less friction on some other cmf torsos but it is within reason most of the time.
Old torsos on old arms, be wary for cracking when prying apart.
Old and cmf torso/arm combo? A total crapshoot. Could have MAX level friction that makes you uncomfortable moving them too much or just keeping them apart. Might also be very floppy. Might also be completely fine.
There is no hard science as to what to expect, trial and error is the only way. But be sure you practice a bit and are able to calculate your risks when fiddling with rare or old pieces you are fond of.
As for legs, idem dito. Some legs might slowly push themselves away from the centre of the hip piece giving tiny gaps.
Grab the T-hip piece and maybe even connect it to a piece for extra leverage and hold.
Grab the leg just under the hip-joint. And slowly but firmly pull while rocking the leg back and forth to wiggle it free. Make sure to not bend the very thin male part of the t-hip joint piece, so wiggle with care and deliberation!
