How do I approach prying off the engine front cover without breaking it? It's bonded pretty tight. I have a 1996 Windstar, believe it or not, with engine and transmission that run perfect (110K) and good paint. Engine cover developed a leak. Engine still in vehicle. Everything out of the way. Haynes and Ford manual say you have to remove engine from vehicle for this repair, but I am close to proving them wrong.
