Turrets are chemically sealed/glued/bonded to the roof. I want to remove the turret.

What is the best and least destructive way to separate my turret from my roof?

It depends on how it was installed, I’ve taken apart hundreds of turrets apart, if someone used gobs of body panal adhesive, your gonna be prying crap apart.

Yeah, gobs and gobs.

No chemical release agents available?

just start by taking it apart one piece at a time,hatch, weapons trays, bearing…may come apart easier than you think.
I’ve stopped using any sort of adhesives as it has no advantages I’ve seen except around the roof to bearing.
