Seriously, Joe is a total idiot and he was able to do it. You wont mess it up , just heat those bitches up in the oven and pry them apart, usually once u get one side starting to pry just pull it apart slow. You can do it trust, here is a link that helped me, it didnt take us ten hours like these guys though/ lol
