you might get the TP5 out with heat but the TP6 is not so easy. Even 
after it is loose from the end rib you then have to get it inserted into 
the root rib and then get it out of that.
The heat to loosen it from the end rib will almost certainly melt the 
foam to an unknown extent, not worth the risk.
