I have a link somewhere to the board level repair info.  It seems the 
parts move around over time or some such thing.  I will look for it.  In 
the meantime:

Back when I had a repair company I would have stripped over 200 of the 
80017a filter assemblies. I never once had any trouble with the acetone 
lifting pads.
My success rate was about 80% faults cured. The others were not fixed by 
the epoxy treatment and had to be replaced.
If the batch number printed on the 80017a starts with a 4 then the epoxy 
will fall off after one day soaking, if it starts with 5 it will need 
4-7 days soaking (with taking out, picking some off then putting it 
back) and if the number starts with 6 you will be at it for weeks and 
weeks to get the outer layer off and then you have a solid inner silicon 
layer which the acetone will not soften to battle with. If you have a 
faulty 6 type you might be better getting some AR clones which are 
better than the originals in my experience.
