Claim:
A method of remanufacturing a cartridge detachably mountable in an electrophotographic image-forming apparatus body and composed of styrene-based resin compositions at least in part, comprising the steps of: (1) dividing the cartridge into at least two divided parts; and (2) bonding at least one of the divided parts with another one of the divided parts and/or a component other than the divided parts by use of a terpene solvent; wherein, the cartridge is divided at a portion which is bonded by supplying the terpene solvent from a predefined flow path to portions of the cartridge to be bonded by use of a capillary phenomenon, and wherein the cartridge is rebonded by supplying the terpene solvent from another flowpath different from a path flow used in an initial bonding to new portions of the cartridge to be bonded by use of the capillary phenomenon.
