Roof skin removal

Just about to embark on the roof skin swap for my buggered roof to the lovely one I've acquired from Aidan (again many thanks fella for all your help :D , especially the trailer pin :oops: )

Had a look around at a few threads, the likes of youthy giblets and others. The most awkward bit seems to be the corners where it looks to be brazed . Any recommendations on how to remove the roof here without buggering up the donor and the recipient?

Thanks

If it is brazed - just undo the braze, that's the beauty of brazing.

Raised on the school of 'mig everything!', I take it removing the brazing is simple? Heat it and let the brazing flood out?

Heat it and just lift the metal parts away from each other.
