Revisiting this...

Results of removing a 98/17500 liner last night - again, no easy task and I'm wondering where my issue is. Jim - sent you a PM.
Hammering a Front Closure
Seems to work to get everything started, but not long after, the closure tends to just jam up inside the liner, mushroom the edges, break off pieces, or just crumple things as opposed to actually moving it. I'm wondering if the all-thread system (?) would have these same type of issues?
Splitter
Used PVC as opposed to steel to avoid scratching the case, and this seems to work fairly well, but not the best solution in my experience as I've found one usually needs to split down several sides of the case before it finally pops free.
Boiling Water
I like this one. Will try on my next case.
Other ideas? What gives? This is getting pretty old and I really don't want to do this every time I clean up motors. It is just "nature of the beast" by flying mildly-high aluminum loads in ARR liners?
Chris - what's the trick behind getting liners to "fall out of the case without even touching them?" Some sort of grease or ?
