Never ran into this before. Cut the silicone seal on the front and rear with a razor blade and continue to pry in several different places. Perhaps tap it in a few different areas also with a plastic hammer. I doubt you'll damage it by doing what your doing. It should all at once just pop and break lose.

Drive a flat blade screwdriver into the front between the manifold and the china wall (top of the block) with a hammer. Don't go crazy. Just drive it in easily. First do the front, then move to the back and do the same thing. It will pop right up.
