Default How do I remove glued-in headset drivers (tiny speakers) from my headset?

I was not aware they could be fixed. I suspect they bin them if failed under
warranty and send out new ones.

I've got a surround sound headset which needs a driver replacement. The
problem is that they're firmly glued in. The surrounding plastic is ABS
and I'm guessing the main body of the drivers probably is too.

So is there a particular solvent to loosen the glue that doesn't affect
ABS? I'm assuming they are removable or else how would the manufacturer
replace them under warranty?

And before you say it, yes I have tried to tentatively lever them out but
they're not going to last long doing that. The drivers are really fragile
and really firmly glued in.

Thanks for any suggestions.
