Take the bolts put and make sure there is nothing else attached to the cylinders and then push the starter. The compression will pop it off.

plugs are out, right? There are a couple spots for a screwdriver to pry it off the gasket....should slide right off after that.

From what i recall there were spots to pry at with a screwdriver like djkorn said. I cant think of what would be stopping you from prying it off. But definitely either take the plug out of have the head off so that you can release the vacuum from the cylinders when you pull up
yeah the head is already off - that came off no problem. I didn't know if that spot was for prying. I just tried it and almost bent a screwdriver trying to pry it off there. maybe I should wrangle up a pry bar? I just don't like cranking on stuff like that so hard but I guess I'll have to!

Rubber mallet to loosen it up then lift.

forgot that part....yep....bang it left and right with the mallet. That should release it from the gasket

Yup, Mark nailed it. I had to do that to my SXR cylinder the first time I removed it. Just go with small taps and take your time.

if they have been on for a long time they can be difficult to remove..i had to replace my cyl base gasket last night and mine slid right off although my motor has relitevly low hrs on it... just tap it with the mallet alternating sides..
