What's the best way of removing this silicone after cutting with a Stanley knife to remove the panel to get access to the toilet flush pipe for a repair. I don't want to damage the wood by scraping the old silicone off before re installing. Thanks

Hard to tell, but isn’t the top part the access panel? Can’t see any silicone other than what’s on the pan, if the pan is being removed, then it’ll just likely come off with that and then scrape excess off whilst it’s out.
Thanks yes I need to take the bottom panel off to get access to adjust the flush pipe
Should it peal of the wood ok?

Yes, but maybe carefully use a sharp utility blade?

Access panels are your friend here.
Except that would be through the Thrush plate! x

So with that one (and others) can I replace all internal parts?

Yep. And tank is fully sealed.
Sometimes takes a bit of krypton factor to get them out and back in but you soon learn the right wiggle being an engineer!
