No I haven't, I didn't even think of trying to pry it off with a screw driver. The stinkin terminal puller from autozone didn't do jack, it just snapped the bottoms off. Maybe I could get under it better with a screw driver. And I'll try picking up some PB on the way home as well. Don't think I have any at the moment.
