I use a chisel and a hammer to get a point started and then a hammer and a
putty knife to chase the slot all the way around. Be sure to remove the two
screws in there. Breaking off the tabs as Ken suggests will work, but then
you lose the best means of reassembling the thing--drilling holes in the
tabs and using small cable ties.
