Well I've never used aftershave on my car, but I'm curious as to what is the
problem? I've found with those things that they can be very stubborn right
up to the point that they pop off. I've used a fine-tipped pick to score
around the groove and sprayed it lightly with PB Blaster, followed up with a
combination of light tapping around with a mallet and some careful prying.
You could try to get an oil filter strap wrench on there; a lateral force
probably wouldn't be as effective however unless it caused some part of it
to pop.

Cya,
Robert

I'm trying to complete a Subie install and trying to get the governor cover
off my auto trans without severe damage. Before I resort to brut force, does
anyone have a used one for sale?

Cheers,

John
