Of course I already removed the screws and plastic disk
I have cleanned a few SCT in the past.
Any idea on how to do this? Some solvent I can apply to it to remove the corrector??

I'll assume it's the same system as any Celestron SCT? Get a syringe with a bent needle and a bit of acetone. Squirt some in between the glass and the corrector cell. Wait 5min. Get a flat screw driver, wedge it in the gap between the glass and the corrector cell and twist it. The corrector plate will pop.
