Try getting some heavy 30+ pound test fishing line, mono or Spectra wrap the loose ends around a couple sticks to make handles and use it like a camp saw. It should cut through silicone or doublesided tape to separate the two pieces. The soft line should follow the nose contour without damage to the board or guard.

If its epoxied you are SOL!
