Need help dissassembling figure for painting

I wanna do a custom paintjob for a RTS Bumblebee. I have taken him apart but cant seem to get the clear plastic back window to seperate from the chest piece. It is held on by 2 tight rods. Can they be taken out without cracking the plastic. If yes, how ??? Also can the wheels, headlights, taillights, and trailer hitch piece be removed ??? Any advice would be great.
Thanks,
