Default Distributor rotor stuck, any tips?

Trying to get under it to replace ICM and Coil, but it's stuck as ****. I bought a new one to replace it anyway, so is my best bet to just pry it off or possible break the plastic and deal with the metal underneath?

I've heard this is a repetitious problem with Hondas. Anyone have any tips, tricks of the trade, tools they've used?

Don't think that matters too much.

I would just continue pulling on it to get it off, maybe even put it on the ground with a towel under it to protect the distributor and use a ball joint fork to pry it off. But I would think, best bet, remove the one screw on the shaft of the rotor and just continue to apply upwards pressure on the left and right underside of the rotor. I had a problem with mine at first, walked away, came back and it nearly just slipped right off.. couldn't even tell you how that happened.

Break off the plastic parts of the rotor and the metal part usually slips off pretty easy(don't ask me why, but it worked for me several times).
