Can’t get it loose. Managed to get the left side up a little. Don’t want to pry on any mating surfaces, just on the pry tab on the right side. Any tips? I think I need a curved pry bar so I can rest it on the block.

Got it. The problem was that I’m a FUCKIN’ IDIOT! I had my shoebox with all the nice little holes poked in the lid with all 12 bolts/studs/nuts in order, except that I only took a nut off of one of the studs that had a hose bracket on it, and failed to notice that the stud under the bracket had another nut on it. :bash:
