Default How to remove ridge tiles?

Hi,

Can anyone advise a good way to remove ridge tiles?

Many of the ones on my (50 year old?) garage roof are badly damaged, so I
thought I'd replace them all. The first 2 came off easily by gently
hammering a chisel under them and prising. (The tile easily separated from
the sand/cement bed and the bed then prised away fairly easily.)

The 3rd one won't budge. I don't want to use excessive force to avoid
breaking the thin (4mm?) plain clay tiles.

Cheers,

Steve
