WD40 and try twisting it off using the pegs that the rubber attach too . Pulling it wont get tyou anywhere without twisting

Best way tbh mate is to take the back box off the rubbers, twist it as much as you can to break the sealant. Then put your feet on the rear beam and twist the fooker which you pull it. It will come you just have to use a bit of tlc.

cheers for the tips,got it off and the new one on.sounds quite nice! ok its only on a 1.2 16v corsa b so it isnt the loudest in the world and it is mostly engine noise at higher revs but an induction kit shud kill the engine noise and make it throaty again at higher revs shudnt it? or even a drilled air box?
