I did this for four of the tabs to provide for enough length of the splitter to begin to disengage. At first (for only 2+ hours) the technique didn't work. Then I slipped putty knives into all eight tabs. Still didn't work - Wouldn't even budge. Then I tried the same procedure but slipped the putty knives on the bottom side of each tab. Still didn't work. Started over and repeated the procedure of slipping the putty knives on the top side of each tab. Got some movement. Kept working it and went around to the back side (inside) of the bumper several times to make certain the putty knives were slipped in as far - and wide - as possible because the notch will lock if it's not fully covered. It's a brutal and time consuming process - But it does work! Stay cool and work it and you'll get that bad boy off. Time for me to down a beer before proceding refinishing the splitter!

Not as brutal and time consuming as it was to read 44 sentences without pushing return......
......glad you got it off.
