What is the proceedure to correctly remove the rear quarter panels from a C4 so that they can be reused?

Thanks in advance

I am pretty sure it might all be one piece. I am sure you can maybe cut them to match another application.

When I mean one piece, I mean that to my knowledge, the rear of the car is put on, minus the rear facia. The rear facia is seperate, but the fiberglass wraps around the car.
 
I need to know how to remove them with out butchering them to FUBAR. :W

Do I use a heat gun to release the bonding cement or whack them with a ziz wheel and grind them down to the stock mounting point?
 
Just an update.

I received my new books from GLAS-Ra volume 5 and 6 on C-4 body repair today. It looks like you use a chisel and hammer to remove the body panels! :ugh I think I will also use a heat gun to loosen the bonding adhesive as well.
 
The chisel and hammer would scare me around fiberglass.
