Chainsaw is the best bet bit failing that just drive over it the solder will be squished together then and will be fine

i grabbed a screw driver... you know the type probably the one thats only ever done 3 or 4 full turns in its life.... but has rather been smashed half to death instead.
Add the favorite hitting stick and go at the top of the long pin where its riveted... pops off a treat

Yep tried the big knife easing the side apart technique and managed to chop some stuff up on the inside much to my brother in laws dismay lol told him to stop moaning and get on with it

On mine I had to remove some star clips from where the fixing bolts went through then carefully break away the thin plastic 'lip' around the joint, this exposes the sealant which you can then carefully cut through till the cover finally loosens and you can then gently pry it off .
