bbsal Posted June 17, 2003 Share Posted June 17, 2003 well i think its safe as long as you take your time and do it right.never rush anything because you have more of a chance of breaking something.after your done cleaning it and ready to put it back together just put it in the oven and reheat it and take it out after its very warm and put some high temp silicon around the whole edge and sqeeze it back together and you will be fine.once you do the first one you will see how easy it is and the second one will be a breeze.

SKperformance Posted June 17, 2003 Share Posted June 17, 2003 yes it should be fine just remove as much as possible of the small parts from around the light housing you can buy ureathane and reseal it or use silicone as it works one thing to also do is if you really don't want to open it just put a nice good bead of silicone and seal the edges again unless the insides are now dirty also leave the little window above the green leveler off to help circulate more air in the housing to evaporate any water first Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bbsal Posted June 17, 2003 Share Posted June 17, 2003 also dont pry to hard because you can crack it.just gradully keep prying easy on it and once you get one part enough open you can get your hands and pull the rest apart.when pulling it apart just pull easy and the urethane will just spread apart.it really isnt that hard just take your time and you will be fine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SKperformance Posted June 17, 2003 Share Posted June 17, 2003 yah it is a tedious and slow thing to do but easy none the less also heat and pry it alittle then you have to reheat and repeat do this a few times as once is nver enough alos remember to remove all the above racks and dont' let the clear plastic face down as the metal rack might give it grille marks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
