If you gonna replace the gasket, just cut it and push gently on a top corner, a buddy helping would be good, and then pull it out.

What if you want to save the gasket?

Hello. I used piano wire all the way around. I would not use a old gasket over though. You will pay when it leaks.

Take it from a guy thats pulled hundreds over the last 30 years. PATIENCE is your best friend. I have pulled them and saved the gasket but your really better off with a new one. For gasket type shields a razor knife works well. I've seen lots of guys use some of the removal tools available thru tool distributors DONT USE THEM! They are designed for removing junk ones not good ones. Just cut away the outer lip of the seal (small piese at a time). Beware the glass may be stuck to the inner lip. CAREFULLY run a blade there to seperate it if needed.
