Continue heating the area until the components can
be separated.
PROPANE GAS TORCH
CAUTION
Keep flame away from flammable materials. Use torch
in well-ventilated area.
Only apply heat to area that requires adhesive bond
separation. Do not apply heat to areas of adhesive
where bond line separation is not needed. Doing so will
require removing the part, removing adhesive, and then
re-applying new adhesive.
10. Once the adhesive bond is broken, remove the left-
side bulkhead clip from the chassis. Note the old
(residual) adhesive. If the component is to be re-used,
the adhesive must be completely removed. See
