I recommend wearing googles and ear protection because that thing is loud.

Paint remover or a bit of heat works well too.

I see your heat and add a 1.5" thin metal putty knife. A sharp cold chisel also works well on the stubborn bits.
I'll need to try a needle scaler, I have 2 1/2 wheel wells left to do. Off to HF... Very Happy
