Having broken a gear housing one last night, I think I better ask what is the trick to getting the worm housing on HO U33B's or GP60' off the top of the gear box with the 4 small tabs.

There is obviously a subtlety in where you try & prise it with a screwdriver.

I think there was a photo somewhere of how to do it.
Thanks

They just snap on and off, I use a small screwdriver on them.
