You need to put it in the oven for a set period of time i forget how long to soften the glue then it will separate no problem..

Don't do it for too long though, or it will melt!

i would not recomend doing it at all dude.....three guys i know had trouble with the plastic warping. Cause oven are not all identical and different temps may be needed for different ovens ! Also just to let you know the glue is a mess when heated if you do not pull them apart slow or fast enough! its not something you wana experiment with !!!

I set oven to 250. Lets it reheat. TURNED OFF THE OVEN. Put them in for 10 minutes or so.

OP: You should check in with Nomar06 if you need any more tips. He's done this quite a few times.
