i tried the oven method and warped my damn lens, i had heard 10 minutes at 200 degrees, so i went with 8 minutes on 175 degrees and pulled it out melted like a mother.

Make sure you pull with a secure grip and there is one corner to be very careful when prying. It may snap.

Use a heat gun and wave it over the lens.

well if you do use the oven method, you can't just ignore them and leave them in there, you have to keep checkin on it every couple minutes, i did the oven method my first time, and it worked out fine
