Joint Removal; Joint Installation - Yamaha WaveRunner VX 700 Service Manual

Joint removal

Do not touch the joint or adhesive that
was heated by the heat gun with your bare
hands; they will be very hot and could
cause burns.
1. Set a heat gun 1 to 350 °C (662 °F) and
use it for about 20 minutes to heat the
joint and adhesive.
2. Once the adhesive has softened, use a
flat head screwdriver to remove the joint
2 from the hull.
TIP:
• When using the heat gun, be careful not to
direct the heat towards any hoses or rubber
parts.
• After removing the joint, clean off any adhe-
sive remaining on the hull.
