Just make sure when you put it back together, you make sure everything is 100% right, put it back into the oven, let it heat up and seal it back up.

David711 Posted April 7, 2010 Report Share Posted April 7, 2010 Its okay to do this to a 30 year old part lol. Look around on the internet but ive seen it done in a magazine im thinking truckin' and they did it to a older truck for the headlight assembly so the could have a clear lens and do projection headlights. ill look around but all you need to do is heat it up enough for the glue to seperate, even a heat gun would probably work good enough.

Hope you dont mind me adding a pic.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
