Looking for a Way to Remove a Tesoro 11 x 8 Coil Cover

I'm looking for a way to remove the coil cover from my Tesoro 11 x 8 coil without breaking it. I've cleaned all the grooves with a brush, but can't get the cover to budge at all.
If you've found a method to remove the cover without breaking it, please let me know. Thanks

To your knowledge was the cover cemented on by either a glue or silicone sealant. If not, it could very well be a sand" sealant" I have had that problem and finally used compressed air to loosen the so-called bond. A couple short blasts along the edge might break it free without damage.

Sound like a good idea. Hope it works. Thanks

You might try heat. Maybe heat it up with a hair drier?

WD-40 fixes anything

Have tried all of the above and nothing works. I did manage to put a small crack in the cover and that's when I stopped. Will just leave to cover on. Thanks

Soaking in warm soapy water did the trick. I did get a few small cracks, but sealed them with epoxy and it's good to go again.
