Questions about removing the cap

[SkunkBoat]

I'm debating whether to double-down on my transom project and go full bore into a cap off restore & paint.

To you guys that have removed the cap..Tartuffe, Ridge, anyone else;

How difficult was it to break free from glue on the stringers?
(I have found most of mine has broken free already and is laying in the bilge).

I think I can pull the cap with a chain hoist, is that realistic?

How heavy are the two halves...meaning, can a couple guys move them around, flip them over, etc. Or do I really need a forklift.

Are there any "Sh!P, I wish I knew that BEFORE I broke it" things to know?

Did you use resin/adhesive to glue it back or did you use fasteners?
