Maruzen Type 96 Cylinder opening

[guiltyspark]

Hopefully someone on the forum can help me find an solution to my problem. I have a Maruzen Type 96 and want to install a spring guide, piston and spring. I brought the gun to an airsoft smith and they couldnt seem to get the job done. So i guess im forced to try myself. My main problem is that Maruzen epoxied the cylinder head to the cylinder and I cant seem to unscrew it. If anyone has any method or idea of how to loosen the epoxy so i can take off that darn head that would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

You need to heat the head/cylinder part to melt the glue. once done, the head will easily pry open
