5. If necessary, remove damaged or loose flanged bushings from the canopy frame. To dis-bond the bushings:
a. Carefully break the bond between the affected parts. Use tools as required to maximize cleavage or peel stress at the edge of the bond line. Try to focus the load application such that internal part stress is minimized; prevent bending and torquing of parts.
b. Carefully cut away the component as required.
c. Remove any remaining adhesive by sanding with aluminum oxide paper until the base laminate is exposed. Do not damage the laminate.
Note: 
Be careful not to damage the composite surfaces during removal.
