You just need to jam a really small screw driver in between the 2 plates to break the gasket and pry it apart, after you get it apart dont forget the impellor is reverse threaded.
Try tapping a knife blade into the gasket between the cover and the seal plate. Then a screw driver. the cover is held by 2 hollow dowels as well as the sticky gasket.
