Welcome Kymco Owners!
I purchased a heat gun for about 11 bucks and it has paid for itself many times over! It is simpler to use than a torch, and it is cheap! Just thought I would put it out here in case it could help someone.http://www.harborfreight.com/1500-watt-dual-temperature-heat-gun-572-1112-96289.html
I wouldn't have thought that a heat gun could get hot enough?...always thought it required a flame...interesting to hear that it works...thanks for the info!
