i'm currently 2 hours into trying to get one of the wings off my storm and the end is not in site yet lol, did they really need to use so much sealant on them?
i don't suppose any one's got any useful tips for getting the wings off? or is it just a case of carrying on with a screw driver?
mk1 wings, sealant AARGH!

Probably, any kinda heat is better than none... although don't use the afro-comb tip and don't bother with curling tongs

heat gun or blow torch. both of which can be bought very cheap from wickes*

*other diy stores are available
