Always start at the heal of the coil if it's the web type. I use my fingernails to pull with. If you don't have strong fingernails, use something else. Maybe, a spool or something similar. Once I get it started, I use the pry handle on my nail chippers. I insert it in between the coil and cover and slowly and gently work it all the way around the coil.

That should do it.

I just removed what I thought was a glued on coil cover by using the following method.I have some wooden ice cream poles one of which I managed to insert at the heal, taking another which I gently worked all the way around until it popped, total time 30 seconds from start to finish much to my delight and amazement.It wont have to be removed again as I intend to seal it with removable sealant to stop anything getting in.Sorry I dont have a means of showing it on Youtube, maybe someone else will try that for me.Oneill

Use a hammer and a small block of hard wood. Tap, tap, tap the edge lightly all around. It slides off little by little.

The same way you separate those 5 gallon buckets when they are hopelessly stuck together. Compressed air! One shot with a blow gun and they pop right apart.

I put it in warm water for a few minutes.Much easier to remove after that.

Wouln't it be nice if coils had a tiny tab on each side that one could run wire/string though and just pull them off.
