   So undo the bolts
   Take off sealant
   Clean it up - bit of sand paper?
   Apply new sealant
   Bolt it up.

   wouldnt clean it up with sand paper, if your careful enough use a stanley blade or just use a dry cloth, but dont get any bits where the cams are.

   Wouldnt use sandpaper, usually i give it a clean up with brake cleaner on a rag and go over the area lightly with some scotch brite.
