is there a guide to ram disassembly somewhere? I looked at the yo joe instructions, but it only required the seat and sidecar be assembled.
looks like the wheel rivet must be drilled out, after that? boil and pry?
Keep in mind it is 36 year old plastic. Breakage is a real possibility no matter how you do it. On mine I could just pull the front fairing off. There is a glued peg behind the headlight holding it on. A little heat should loosen it enough if it doens't budge. The wheels are held on with metal rivets. If you plan on using the struts at all you'll have to drill/dremel those off. Once the fairing and rivets are out, and the seat is off, it is essentially a two piece held together with internal pegs. I didn't trust the plastic enough to try prying the two sides apart but with a little heat and some flat screwdrivers as wedges it could be done.
Stickers will come off with Goo Gone and hot water. Because of the age of the stickers you really will want to clean those off or you'll get residue lines whereever they come off when you paint over it.
