check youtube, heat a piece of metal, whole saw or whatever -really hot,
insert ( make sure the metal fits snugly inside pvc before heating) HOLDING
WITH VICE GRIPS insert the heated metal into the pvc wait around 30 sec, take
a screw driver and poke at the inside piece to see if it is pliable, if so
remove metal, if not leave in a while longer, IMMEDIATELY slide screwdriver
between the two pieces of pvc and separate. grab edge with pliers and twist
melty pvc, out.
