Start with the edge of a steel rule first, they are often stuff with a gasket compound too. Then, once it lifted a little, use a nice wide bladed screw driver. HTH

Just smack a screwdriver in the side of it and lever it off. Save yourself the hassle of trying to get them off without damage (i have never been able to). They are only abour £1 each and yes ford still keep them.
