boiling hot kettle, pour it around the base of the spoiler, this sometimes helps, and dont pull it from the centre as they break lol

Use some fishing line and a couple of handles each end, like a cheese cutter. The pads are a right ****** to separate I know!

Another option is to use an old credit or bank card to pry it apart, not easy but be patient.

I used some wooden wedges tapped between the spoiler and boot skin, leave the nuts fitted loosely tho, cos it pops off a bit rapidly.
