After removing the mounting bolts and nuts, disconnect the component using a seal cutter.

CAUTION: If for some unavoidable reason a tool such as a flat-bladed screwdriver is used, be careful not to damage the mating surfaces.

In areas where the cutter is difficult to use, use a plastic hammer to lightly tap the areas where the sealant is applied to disconnect the component.
