preheated the oven to 200F and then kept it in there between 7-10 min. after about 7min, i pulled the assembly out and tugged at it to see how easy it was to pull it apart. depending on how much the glue has loosened up, i kept it back in the oven. but 10 min should be the absolute maximum.

If you need any pointers on that, let me know. I've done a few sets and it's not too bad anymore.

I actually went out and got a heat gun. Worked like a charm.
