If you have a torch, it can be melted off but be carefull not to splash.

Yes, the torch works fine, But I think he also want to know how to "open it up." The easiest way for someone who has not done it before is to buy 15 stock ones, some muratic acid, some grease, lots of large ball bearings, and go to work. After several days you will probably end up with 14 broke and or illegal ones and one that is maybe ok. 
I have built about 3 decent ones over the last few years. Costing for broke manifolds and my time I have decided to no longer make my own. I buy them..and let someone else have this labor of love...

Re: manifold help
Years ago I tried it. Removed the heat rise by cutting both sides and splitting it carefully. Ends and down tube were no problem, but got the ball stuck in a cross tube. 2000psi hydrotester wouldn't move the dam ball.
Buy a manifold.
