^^ i used a rubber mallet and was able to whack it pretty hard. no oil leaks so i guess i didn't screw the cover up.
Yes, use a big rubber mallet and have at it. One note of caution - hold the kick start shaft in with your thumb as you work the cover off. If you pull it off with the cover, it's return spring will unhook and you'll need to reset it.
