Tim,

Have you tried using good ole fashioned fingernail polish remover?

Coat the suspension mounts with it using an old brush, keep working at it and usually it will loosen this type of glue...in this case glue and paint...:>}} Then you could try prying it with an exacto knife or something similar.

Of course this method may be too risky with a painted model, but it's worth a try...

I bet this would work, I've done it before but not on a finished kit.

Good Luck, Paul
