Very carefully! You need a powerful hairdryer to heat the glue/ sticky pads and a length of dental floss to run between the tread plate and the bumper to cut through the glue without marking the plastic of the bumper. Heat the tread-plate until it is quite warm and then work the dental floss under an end and then with somebody else aiming the warm air along the treadplate as you ease the floss along the bumper. 2020 Pangea Green 1st Edition D240 New Defender 110 is here and loving it

Blisters came from trying to roll/rub the nasty sticky pads underneath off with your bare finger - but fishing line sounds good for sawing. |
