Try tapping with a rubber mallet and possibly some heat from heat gun/light propane flame/hair dryer. Using a screw driver/impact will likely damage the finish and leave a nasty looking divet in the slot. There is a proper curved tool for these covers...but you can easily make one from scrap aluminun or steel flat with a grinder/dremel/file.
I've used a good sized washer held in an adjustable wrench as a workable option...but not much torque needed on mine thankfully.
Have a long oil drip catch pan beneath the primary prior to removing...I suctioned out most of the oil (via the middle chain inspection hole) using large syringe or hand suction pump.
