I tried the hot air gun and brake cleaner suggestions without great success. In the end I just used a wire wheel on the angle grinder and lightly buffed the plastic part of the adhesive off. I did it lightly to try and not remove the paint and e-coat completely but this was a bit inevitable. I am repainting anyway. There was still a layer of residue left. I used a pot scrubber and acetone to clean this off and the acetone did a good job of this. I had the shell side on, on the spit so it was a reasonably easy job and safe enough with the acetone.
