My dad taught me this.First lets have a picture.
Now, see the red circles? that part of the leg has little meat, so pluck them off.Now for the next step.
Strain your eyes abit. Can you see the two blue arrows? stick the legs into the pincer in that direction. Lets have another picture.
All crab's pincer, have a 'soft spot' in that area, just above the pincers. Pushing anything into that spot will disable most crab's pincer, unless its a gigantic mud crab, whereas it will actually need two crab legs to disable =D

Re: How to disable a crab's pincers~
I've heard of this but never really test it out. The soft part you spoke of is a groove that allows the pincers to move freely, I'm not sure by sticking an object in actually stops it like jamming a door hinge or is because the object you pushed cut its nerve or muscle(?) Somehow, I still feel safer seeing a crab tied up!
