thanks for the help, I hardly used the chisel and never hit it very hard, was just trying to get some of the silicone out with it. Best part is the seal that I applied looks much better than the old one, i have a nice ooze all the way around the cover.

Have removed covers many time and the best method for me is to wack the thing from the side with a dead blow hammer. They seem to just pop right off.
I have switched to Lube Lockers in lew of RTV. Less mess and if you bounce off of a rock the thing doesn't shift and start leaking.
