I separated the lens from the housing by using a razor and cutting the sealant all around then carefully using a thin flat blade screwdriver and prying the housing loose a little at a time. Take your time. The sealant is flexible. After you get the two parts separated, use needle nose pliers or tweezers to pull off the remaining sealant. Not sure what to use when re-assembling them though. 87 SS, Harwood cowl induction hood, UMI trailing arms. Edelbrock TES Headers (Jet Hot Coated).
