I used a medium sized prybar. Tried from all angles, but no go. then my friend does it from the front of the engine, and plop it came right off. I used a mallet too but that didnt do anything.

try to get in with a small screw driver, and then work up to a bigger size ect, ect, be careful of the gasket, unless you have a new one.

Go with a rubber mallet and tap it side to side. If that does not work try working in a small screwdriver without bending the lip. PATIENCE is the key.
