hit the drive plate on the edge, over each cone washer (mind the wheel studs) and it'll pop right off.

thanks tony will i need new gaskets then

Generally no, even if the gasket breaks it only holds grease in, not oil, and not much gets up past the locking nuts and washers anyway. I generally don't bother, just bit of RTV sealant if the gasket looks to bad.
