That would make it 1000 times easier.

Using a heat gun is how we would remove vinyl when I worked in the sign industry. Obviously don't point it at one spot for too long.

Thanks to everyone's replies, I really appreciate the tips.
With your suggestions I have decided to go for the tank.
Now just to arrange 6 guys to help me lift the monster and go pick it up.
