Keep trying harder- even if you resort to a hammer and prybar to fold the 
seal into the center and crack it loose. There's nothing inside to hold it 
except the factory green-permatex-type sealant and perhaps whetever goo some 
misguided 'mechanic' added. I've found JB-Weld (epoxy-aluminum) on the 
backside of such seals- totally unnecessary and only causes trouble (such as this) 
downstream. Good luck- J Deryke
