A single edged razor blade is used to separate the pickup disks from the bridgeplate. If all goes well, the pickups will separate and not pull wood up from the bridgeplate, although some superglue residue will likely remain on both the bridgeplate and the discs. The residue can be removed from the discs with acetone (or something else, I'm not sure what). Removing residual glue from the bridgeplate is more problematic, as some of it will have seeped into the wood. Sanding will make the surface smooth. Sometimes, the discs will warp when being removed rendering them useless.
