Plenum/runner gasket help

Hey guys, I'm in the process of replacing the injectors in my 1990 Iroc, and I'm beginning to reassemble everything. The only problem I've run into so far is trying to remove the old gaskets from the runners and plenum, they're stuck on there pretty good. Anybody have any tips/tricks to make the process a little easier? Thanks!

its called gasket remover lol, actually soaking the parts in warm water or used engine oil will help penetrate the gasket meterial once you pull what you can especially the crush inner gasket meterial.

Hahaha I figured gasket remover would be the obvious answer, just curious to see what others used! Thanks for the reply!
