I am a little nervous about splitting the case, it seems awfully stuck together. Would it make sense to turn the case so that the joint is vertical and then spray it with wd40, work it open that way? Or is it best to keep it so the joint is horizontal as though I am re-assembling it?

Any tips on what sort of tool to use to "gently" pry it open? Run a razor knife along the joint? very stiff metal putty knife?

thanks
