I also removed the wing walk material and found the same problem, MEK was only a partial help so used a heat gun also. After the first six or so inches of the front end of the material had been freed up, I took a grip with a pair of vice grip sheet metal pliers and pulled the rest off. I also pull the head off about a dozen or more rivets that holds the wing walk reinforcing corrugation and top skin together (flush rivets located under the wing walk material ) That required me to open up the rear of the center section to get at the rivets to replace them and find out why the heads pulled off. Found corrosion between the corrugation and top skin and a rear former rib that was corroded in half. Cleaned up all corrosion and re-riveted everything back together along with a new rib. Simple saturday job, HA.
