taking apart a tank

[tottenchris]

How do you take a tank apart? I have the side seals removed along with the top trim. The bottom is wood. I can't get the glass sides out of the bottom trim piece. Any ideas would help. Also the back piece is broken, replaceing it.

Thank you
Chris

blunt trauma works pretty good. Turn the tank over. Take a 2x4, and line it up to the trim edge, and with a rubber mallet, try to knock it off. Silicone glue generally holds the trim in place, and, you just need to use force to get it off.

If it is put together with silicone you can use silicone remover.It will do the trick .
