Cam tensioner gasket problem

im trying to lift the intake cam out along with the tensioner but the intake cam seal is my nemesis at the moment, is there a way to remove it without damaging the seal ? do i need to leverage something under that side of the cam to get it out ?

Just lift it out with the seal on it shouldn't be a problem I did sits back fine in position afterwards

thanks, the seal is stuck in place, probably age so i dont know if i must leverage a spanner or screwdriver under that side of the cam to get it to move

Just give it a tap with a rubber mallet that's what I did from underneath
