Is it safe to open rb20det afm

[LINK17]

Hello All,

Probably a stupid question but I can't find any relevant info anywhere. 

I saw a thread about a guy having similar problems and he removed the plug base (which has 4 screws) which revealed dry joints. 

This made sense to me and he shows pics but here is my drama - when I pulled the plug base off the plug terminals were desoldered from the afm pins (doh). To resolder I have to remove the top of the afm but there are no screws only a silicon type bead? Does this mean to remove the top I won't get it back on?

I can't believe there is nothing on here about this - any help would be much appreciated!

Cut it open with snap off blade. Prise gently, reseal carefully.

Thank you that's good to know. Its actually running smooth but I won't relax until I know the joints are soldered

you should also consider the list i wrote for you on your previous post. a better working AFM on a clapped out 25 year old engine will only help your situation not fix it
