Removing the lens cover most likely. Gotta heat the oven, place the assemblies in for a few minutes to soften the sealer, then pull apart.

Another hard part comith....re-installing the lenes so they don't leak or fog up on you and ruin that nice paint job. I've found that removing ALL old sealer is the best way to asure that they don't fog up on you.
