Yes.  Both Customer education and Internal IBM Marketing education teach how
to do this in their courses.  (I'm an instructor for both organizations). 
I do not have a copy of my manuals with me, but anyone who has gone through
the courses (Course code Q1016 - I/AIX internally, AIX System Admin 
externally) can look up the steps in their manual.  Read your SE, if he/she
is trained, some one in your branch if your SE is not.  It is in the section
SA tips, near the back.  The page is titled "De-installing LPP's" and the
student notes section has the 8 to 10 steps required to perform the action
correctly.

Has your SE gone through the education process?
