Try a heat gun to heat it up and give it a blow or pry it. That's how I did it and it came off fairly easy. By the way, by heat gun, I mean one that blows hot air, not one w/ an open flame. I don't need to explain why not to use the other one right?

Man I remember doing that to mine. I bought a set of crowbars and managed to get it off that way. The Steeda tech support guy actually told me to hit it with a 2x4 lol...
Either way, it is amazing once it is in... Enjoy!
