In all seriousness, cutting the lens off made the process pretty easy. You really need access to the inside of the mounting channel. Short of dunking the entire assembly, I don't really see how chemicals would soften that.

I have heard that ECE assemblies may not have been assembled with the hard glue that was used in the US, though. You *might* be able to bake off.
