I need to change my 532 module and driver after I killed them with the wrong battery. The module in the host has adhesive keeping me from unscrewing it. Whats the best way to go about this? Should I use a solvent like Bestine to break up the adhesive?

I tried chipping it away but feel like I'm going to do more damage than make any progress.
