Any one have tips for removing rocker cover?

[ltrmc02]

I'm trying to remove the rocker cover on my 04 625 sxc so I can reseal due to an oil leak. I don't see much of anywhere to pry the cover loose. I was prying against the stop that the compression lever rest against but I was putting a pretty good load on it and am concerned of breaking it. I took 7 4mm allen head bolts out of the cover with one being longer than the rest behind the spark plug.

Am I missing anything or is the sealant just that difficult to break loose?

Here is a great write up on
the rocker cover reseal, it might explain
the difficult removal as well.

LOL, I read this a few weeks ago but should have read over it again before starting the job. There are still 4 bolts that I have not removed

That is a great write up and thanks for sending it to me to read over again.
