While working on the roadwheels on my Initial Tiger, I noticed that the innermost wheel on the last station will not go in. Why? Because I was stupid and glued the idler wheels in place early in construction! Anybody know a way to 'undo' glued joints?

Thinners is meant to weaken glue joints, however i am unsure if this may lead to further damage,ive never had to do it myself before. Try on sum spare plastic maybe.

Evan, rather than risk damaging your model with solvents to undo the glue, I would suggest cutting off the idlers, drilling a hole into each of the opposing faces, pinning them (a little bit of paper clip nipped off with pliers) and super glueing them together again after you get that last roadwheel on.
