[Rhodes22-list] Trouble getting centerboard cap off

[Dana]

I have removed the tube and the pennant is now coming right out of the centerboard cap.  There are no obstructions or fasteners in the way as far as I can see.  It seems like the cap is just stuck to the gasket which is just stuck to the trunk.  I was able to peel the front part of the cap up because it is somewhat flexible.  Peeling it up the rest doesn't want to work because it is so rigid.

 I can't remember without looking but I think you need to first remove or disconnect the tube for the cb pennant which goes from the top aft end of the cap, up to the bottom of the cockpit gutter just below the hatchway where the cb line comes up in the cockpit..  It goes up behind the aft wall.

 see attached drawings

I have removed all of the screws from the centerboard cap and the front flat 
portion of the cap will lift up, but the rear portion of the cap is stuck 
tight.  There doesn't appear to be any sealant on the gasket.  The gasket seems 
very pliable.  I'm afraid to pry too much or do anything that might compromise 
the gasket.  Any ideas?
