Default How do you remove an Elevator that is Epoxied to a Torque Rod?

Today I ran into a glue problem with my Robart Hinges. The ones I installed on my Corsair's Stab and Elevator control surface came loose. I did some online searching. http://www.rcgroups.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1444200 I drilled some holes into the stab and fed some epoxy into the holes. At this point I don't know if what I'm doing is going to work yet. Next, I did some online searching, and so far I've been unable to find an answer to my question. On some airplanes, all you go to do is cut the Rudder off and then you can cut off your Elevator. But you can't do that on this plane, since the Elevator Torque Rod Assembly is apart of the Fuselage. What I am wondering is: Is there a good or better way of getting the Torque Rod out of the Elevator ? (It is Epoxied into the Elevator)

* I hope I don't haft to do this. But just in case I do, I want to know how some of you did something like this.
