Quick Question on 2.3 timing belt cover.

Ranger 2.3 '94. I have the water pump out on my wifes ranger. Good time to hit the timing belt, idler, and tensioner. I have the front of the timing belt cover loose (one phillips head on front, and snaps undone along the edges). It seems if I yank it out I will break it at this point. There is a tab lodged into the inside of the crank pully at the bottom, and the power steering pump mount is in the way. Just wondering what the bare minimum would be as far as what else to loosen or take off. It seems like it should just slip out, but it catches and I am not certain what it is catching on. Or do I just need a bigger hammer?
