Re: Lowering kit suggestions?
You gotta heat em up slowly and for a long time. Make a box get 3 or 4 heat guns blowing in it for a while and melt the sealant
Or a blow lamp and work your way around removing it as you go. Itโs not easy either way

Yeah Iโve made my temporary oven the other day but I realised that itโs not butyl rubber itโs permaseal, Iโm going to make my own hook tool to cut around the suff.lord-dudester wrote:You gotta heat em up slowly and for a long time.

Iโve heard itโs a nightmare.
The bad news is. The guy that did mine has vowed never to do them again
