I used dental floss and worked it in between the adhered magnet and mount. Then I used firm pressure and a sawing method. The floss slid through like a knife releasing the magnet.
I liked using this method rather than trying to pry/bend the mount. Much safer!

Bend the metal backing away from the magnet. works best with a bench vise and a GBF channel lock pliers
Yes, that's what I did. I grabbed the metal with a pair of vise grips and bent it, exactly as you say.
I'm deleting my post above. I think the only one I broke was when I tried to pry it with a screwdriver. It's been several years, I guess my memory sucks.

I put it in a vice and gently tapped the magnet with a hammer/screwdriver. Popped right off
