Dont need to use the hammer. I know you said you removed the coilpacks but have hou removed the sparkies?? Not sure if they stop the rocker from comming off but worth a try. Double check all around the rocker you might have missed a bolt

Plugs dont stop the rocker its prob been diyd with silicone instead of a propper gasket try a small flat ended pry bar try tapping it in and lever it gently

There will be 3 bolts at the back and there will be a bracket in the way. Get a flat head and pry it from each corner it will come but it also on threads. You need to pull it straight up or it won't come off
