Gasket Won't come off!!!!

I've been trying for at least an hour now to try to remove the rear valve cover gasket... it won't come off!! The front valve cover gasket came off witout a problem, but the back one wont come off. I've managed to get bits and peices of the gasket off, but the rest of it is still stuck on there.. Anyone have any tips to get this gasket off? Someone Please Help before I go legally insane!!

CAREFULLY use a putty knife, or gasket remover tool. Be sure now to scrape to hard or you will mar the surface which is bad news.

I finally got that stupid thing off... Here is a tip for anyone that has this problem... get a blowtorch, and heat up the metal behind the gasket, it helps it release really well, but just dont burn or heat the metal up too much.
