    Heat along the seam and glancing blows from a rubber mallet should separate the halves.

    Filling up the tank with piping hot water may help.

    The hot water is a great idea! Thx. I was also thinking about some sort of an air or water bladder put inside to gently lift the two apart.  Need to research a bit, we’ll see…

     

    Thx
