O1 Sure. Place your bike in the sun, then use a little heat from a hair dryer, then twist off either by hand or pliers. If this does not work, you can use fishing line to saw behind the reflector, saw slowly so you don't build friction heat, being carefully not to saw against clear. Then use Goo Be Gone or WD40 to soak the remainder of glue. You may have to do this several times giving it a couple of minuets to soften and remove with clean microfiber. Then polish and buff. You don't want to hit clear with any tools.

Yes you can use both systems at same time-----per Lester, and be patient.

Use goo gone during the whole process. Once you get the reflectors to move a little bit away from the paint, pour it in there so it can start working on the adhesive.

Take your time and be very patient with the process.

The front are easy, they only have the 2 sided tape around the edge. The back one has tape all the way across. I did the sit it in the sun, thing and the front pulled off just by hand. I used a cheap 4 pount fish line on the back. Why? It breaks easy. That fish line makes alot of friction heat and i wanted the line to give before it burned the paint. Take a long piece and run it in one direction, don't "saw". Pull the line through a few times putting pressure on the tape. (pull toward you not the bike) When the line either, breaks or kinks up, toss it and use a fresh. Goo gone after. Took me about 20 min.
