Duckbill removal help needed

Hi there,
I've just received my 2 Trademark the duckbills are in good shape and I'd like to reinstall them once the cans are re-chromed.
Thing is, they are glued to the can, anyone has a method to remove them without damage?
Thanks in advance for your help
Cheers!
Stéphane

This is a pure guess but I would soak it in very warm water...about as hot as you can stand to have your hands in, then try to work a wedge shaped piece of wood or plastic under the duckbill. Good luck getting it off in tact.
