SLEEMAN Posted May 5, 2008 Share Posted May 5, 2008 get baking them mate! e.g. put them in the oven at 150 degrees plus for about 10-15 mins and you best have some welding gloves or just plain oven gloves and they should come apart Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SLEEMAN Posted May 14, 2008 Share Posted May 14, 2008 its best if you can take out the plastics and the electrical wire as they will melt! the glass and thick plastic surround won't. if the glass doesn't come apart on the first round, turn up the heat further to 200 degrees, like i said wear very thick gloves and try again to take them apart but be careful though as its glass and if you drop it and it breaks your screwed so do it over somewhere soft like your bed or a sofa!
