Is it possible to unglue? (post #162126)

I build a bench from a 3" thick redwood slab.  Two slab legs with a stretcher centered on the tops of the legs and the legs are mortised into the seat.   There's a slight gap between the top of one leg and the bench. It's creaking and wobbling a bit. Problem is I already glued the piece up w/ Gorilla glue.  Can I melt the glue to repair?

Touch base with the manufacturer's technical support.  Sounds like one joint is loose - the other may be next to impossible to work apart.  Then again, if one joint failed maybe the other is weak?
