    Customizing FTX Vans/Buses help appreciated

    I am working on customizing a number of FTC Vans/Buses. Most of the parts can be removed and swapped easily, however I am having troubles with the front oval piece. A few just popped off, no problem, but some seem to be really glued on tight. Any recommendations on how to remove these so they can be swapped?

    Depending upon the glue used, you can dissolve it by using any trick known to dissolve glue.
    If you can get behind it for instance, nail polish remover works well. Just don't over do it.
    Use a Cotton Swab and just dab behind it then use force to pull it off as the glue bond begins to weaken.

      Turns out, at least in this case, the best solution (least damage) was to use a small (8") crowbar.
