One of my HEs wants its ring gaskets to remain on the head. I can't get either to budge. Any ideas?

I have successfully used a flat blade screwdriver between the copper gasket and the head, twisting the blade to cause the ring to collapse. You do have to be careful not to damage the land that the gasket seals to, otherwise it is a prime candidate to leak later.
