someone's thrown me a hand full of Maxtor external firewire drives that have had the hard disk fail in them so that I can open them up and replace the hard drives...

should be easy I thought - couple of screws and done ... but no they seem to be sealed - there is a black plastic "band" that runs along both sides keeping the case together but when I try gently levier it off it doesn't give at all...

any one know the fine art of cracking one of these  open?
