Grab onto them with a pair of pliers and yank. The seals aren't molded into the cover. They are a serviceable item.

They can be pretty snug on there sometimes, but they do come off with a little persuasion. Make sure your plug tubes are seated as well, they like to work their way up sometimes.

Be vary careful if you use a screwdriver and hammer to tap it loose. I wasn't and put a hole in my valve cover
