Ym1700 hydraulic head removal

Any ideas on how to get this front cover off? All these damn covers appear to be glued, I was able to get the rear pried off but this one won't budge

Bigger hammer. Not joking.

Well i got it off, big hammer was involved as well as a sharp chisel and pry bars.

Also bolted the lift arm housing back onto the axle backwards to hold it in place and have better access.
