Pry off dust cover?

[ctroutma]

OK, I need a little help. I am trying to take apart my front end for rebuilding and I cannot get the dust cap off? Everything I read simple reads "pry off the dust cover", but no amount of prying is moving this thing. I have also applied heat. Any other suggestions?

BTW..this is on the 71' w/ disc brakes, etc.

pry it between the bottom of the cap and the disc, or tap it gently side to side with a hammer, i normally use a claw hammer as you can use the claw to pry it then knock it off with the hammer end! :wink:
