Anybody have a method for removing an epoxied heatsink? Am I out of luck?

Can you get a replacement nameplate for that ESC? From Schumacher maybe?

Any help is appreciated.

You can get an replacement tag from Schumacher USA, they are the distributor for Keyence here in the US, as far as removing the heatsink, you can try using an "activator," which loosens the adhesive, but I don't know the affect will be on the surrouding electronics.
