How to separate v10 / v10f shell to access battery?

[LightWave]

I watched a few videos but can't seem to find any details on how to separate the shell and I removed every screw I can find. I heard there's some silicone that's keeping both halves adhered together.

I wonder if anyone had to use a heat gun or something to break them apart?

If the V10 is like the V8 you don't separate the shell halves, even when you fix/swap tire.

You just take the side cover off and the battery slides out.

Video. Note there are screws under the upper pads, and the shells need to be pried off.

v8 is easy to change the battery, I've done that before. v10 looks similar but has a different shell interior

You can pull the lower part of the upper pads just enough to get to the screws, rather than taking the upper pads completely off.
