In my experience, FLYTYM, no prying or pounding is required - a gentle tap with rubber-faced mallet is all that's required. The mating faces are EXTREMELY thin, thinner than I've experienced before on other 'bikes, and the slicon gasket material is correspondingly thin.

Why not have a go with one cover, before you start to drill & tap threads?

Here's my thread, where I removed my 'bike's generator cover...

Good luck with this. I'd be interested to see how you get on with this, before/after (with pics!)
