Headlight assembly, chrome ring question

[Blitzburgh7sb]

Hi All. New to the site but have already learned a great deal from reading here. I finally have a problem that I could use some help on. I have a 2003 Gz and I am trying to remove the chrome ring on the headlight assembly. I understand from reading here that after you remove the 2 screws you need to pull the bottom toward you pushing the top down and releasing the lip at the top. But the Bottom will not budge even with a good dose of wd40 to loosen some rust spots. Anyone know of a trick for this? I can get a screw driver in the bottom as it is separated about an 1/8th inch after pulling. Trying not to damage the ring.

Thanks.
