Sometimes the silicone can be stubborn to release. I have had to use one of my wider gasket scrapers and tap it with a plastic dead blow mallet to break the seal on a few oil pans in the past. Try a little spray penetrating lubricant in the area you're trying to pry apart, and tapping your putty knife with a mallet to see if it breaks the seal.
