How to remove the vapor chamber? I’d like to repaste the GPU. I saw image of removed vapor chamber without removing much aside from battery.

With battery removed, display cable disconnected, screws of vapor chamber removed, it cannot be easily lift off, did i need to remove more? Or it’s just old thermal paste sticking too much?
