Default 84 Intake Removal

Hey guys does anyone have any tips on removing the intake plate or whatever that thing is called that bolts to the manifold. I have taken all the bolts out but cant seem to get it to budge. I took a pry bar and was tapping it with a hammer but didnt want to crack or break anything. Is there a video somewhere?????? Please Help
