Shroud Removal
My last kit had a soldered shroud and I was able to remove it by myself. I clamped the front trunnion in the vise, found a piece of 5/8" dia steel rod (or the size that fit the shroud holes) about 3' long and instered into a set of holes near the trunnion. I used my propane torch and heated the outside area where it was threaded onto the trunnion. The heating was done so the shroud was heated all around. While heating, I kept pulling on the rod until the solder broke loose. Once it did, I kept heat on it until I had it removed.
After removal of the shroud, and the parts were still hot, I wiped as much solder off as possible (be careful) then I used a wire brush to remove the rest. A second person makes it a lot easier though!
