88 Ranger /stuck shell


I bought this rig recently and it came with a shell and plastic bedliner, and I want to remove them both! The shell just won't come off or even budge we took the clamps completely off and my Husband got inside and tried to use his back by pushing up from the inside,we lifted from the outside. It is as if it was super glued on. The reason I want it off is because I live on the N. Coast and due to the possiblity of rust,I want to get the crappy liner off. It is warped and I want to put the shell back on (so my aussies don't get wet and freeze) and also don't want to damage the body or paint. It is pretty good condition. I just don't like the large accent stipe (ugly tan on Brown). Anyone with ideas please help. By the way the shell is probably as old as the truck!

Thanks,
Kallie

all i can think of is the weather seal on the cap is stuck on the box.
if this cap was on for years then try to pry it off with a putty knife along with a heat gun or hair drier
