The "deleteBond" action in ParmEd will let you create a new prmtop file
without the bond you want to delete. Then you could just continue the
simulation from the last restart file.
However, if you just delete a C--C bond, you will have nonsensical
chemistry, at least from a molecular mechanics standpoint, since each of the
two carbons will now have an open valence. So it seems likely that you will
have to add bonds as well. In that case, you would need to hand-edit the
PDB file to represent the new chemistry, then re-run tleap to make the new
prmtop file.
