Water Distribution Tube

Hello Everyone,
I'm attempting to remove the tube from a 356, probably for the first time in a long time. It's stuck really well. Other posts suggest working a thin metal strip along the edges to free it. Tried that and can only get about half-way through to the back.

My next thought is to use something thicker, perhaps a metal bar about 1/8 thick or so to break the seal between the tube and block. Something I can tap with a hammer. I have a new tube so ruining the old one is OK, but my concern/nightmare would be breaking it and having part of it stuck in the block.

What do you guys think?
