You don't pry with a pickle fork! You wedge it apart by hammering the wedge shaped fork between the two sides.

I had exactly the same problem you do with the Stealth, bought the pickle forks and poof, had them off in minutes.

Use the right tool for the job.

Or go buy the $90 air hammer version if it makes you happier.
