I don't think so. AFAIK, they aren't held together the same way as fronts are, but hot welded.

You could TRY heating them in an oven, 150 degrees C for about five minutes. If they are going to come apart, that will do it, if not, it shouldn't do any harm.

Can you not repair it?

Glue it back on with Solvent Weld, then strengthen with Araldite?

the only way you will get one of these apart is with a hammer and chisel,tried it this afternoon and they must be glued together,they are solid,thanks for the help alcazar
