I really like David's idea

That tool, plus a rubber mallet and maybe throw a little heat on top of that and you should be able to split almost any case.

Agreed, you could easily damage things with the jack setup. I was only trying to preload things a bit, then give it a couple of taps. I got the jack snug between the wrenches and gave it one pump and the case separated. I barely felt any resistance, so I guess my case wasn't as stuck as I thought.

I do really like David's fabricated tool as well.
