I used a blunt nylon trim panel tool to get ALL the old sealant off. Got everything off without any nicks.

I'm using the Verus plate which uses an o-ring to seal. It's a little more critical that you remove all sealant in the groove since that's where the o-ring sits. You probably wouldn't need to be so thorough if you're going back with stock plate and sealant..
