First find a product called UnDu at your local hardware or office supply store. It is the solvent heptane and causes any adhesive to forget about sticking for a few seconds. Next soak a strong thread in it and place a couple drops of the solvent under the bezel. Use the thread like a cheese cutter to slice through the stickum. Keep it wet. Also try and keep the solvent off of the keyboard background as it may leave some watermarks behind.
