How to handle the sale of just part of a bundled depreciable asset?

My CPA 7 years ago bundled 3 pieces of equipment (trailer, UTV, and a chipper) into one depreciable asset bundle valued at $13k with a 7 yr life.  It seemed odd, but also looks to be something that is allowable.  Now 7 years later, I sold the trailer for $2k (original price $3500).  How do I report this?  Do I retroactively split the bundled depreciable asset into 3 pieces (basically, enter them all in and delete the original), then document the sale of just the trailer, or is there another way to do this?

Yes, split it up into 3 assets then indicate the one asset was sold.
