Xbox 360 Rechargeable Battery Pack Tear down

Step 2 Step 2. Cutting it open.

Now I know this seems like a brutal way to get one of these open.
But I tried heating it with a blow drier for about 10 min and a Heat gun at work (SMT rework tool). And I either ended up melting the case or getting no where. Since Microsoft decided to glue / cement the battery pack case shut.

Anyways there is a seem on the center of the sides you just cut down the sides

So do the two halves stick together again? Or do you have to reglue the sides?
