Acoustic:
Do you or does anybody else know of a product that will aid in breaking down the 5200. My deck plate for the head discharge needs replacing, the cap was cross threaded at one point and the threads are stripped.

The plate is simply screwed to the deck with three screws. But the bigger problem is the compound that was used, after removing the screws I still can not remove the plate. I have removed the hose and clamps from below and the only thing I can see that would be still holding it in place is the sealant/adhesive.

I was going to carefully try a heat gun and a putty knife. Carefully so as not to damage the deck, trying to heat the flange than use the knife under the flange to break the seal.

Any other suggestions or any other product you might know of to aide in my project?
