- The cover should be stuck fast. It is meant to be gooed in pretty well with a gasket and sealant to prevent leaks. I generally whack them a good 'un with a "soft" dead blow hammer to break the seal a

- I'm with you! I've never gotten an easy-out to work consistently for me either. And I've spent a good deal of money buying better and better easy-outs with the same results....broken easy-outs! Then
