Note the screw located on the inside of the brace
attaching the brace to the bulkhead cooler.
6. When all of the noted fasteners, nuts, and screws are
removed, the next step is to heat where the brace
mounts to the tunnel and bulkhead clip.
7. Wearing heat resistant gloves, use a propane gas
torch to heat the where the brace mounts to the tunnel
and bulkhead clip.
Apply torch until adhesive begins to crackle. During
this time, the adhesive may smoke and bubble.
Continue heating the area until the brace can be
separated from the bulkhead and tunnel.

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.
8. Note the residual adhesive on the brace, bulkhead clip
and tunnel. If the component is to be re-used, the
adhesive must be completely removed. See Bonded
