Heated oven to 250. Large sheet pan with a damp towel on the very bottom rack. Insert first light for 10ish minutes or so and used some mechanics gloves to pull apart ( make sure all screws are out) it does take a little muscle but once it starts coming apart it gets easier. Also you can put them back in the oven for a few. It was really easy to do. Saved a ton of money and can now get new tires. Best thing I can tell u is make sur the light is clean inside before u put them back together. This will also take a day or two to complete.
Any other questions please feel free to PM me or post here.
