MEK--methyl ethyl keytone will dissolve just about any adhesive. Just spray in on with a squirt bottle, wait a minute and you should be able to push your old gasket off with a credit card. You can buy it at Home Depot by the qt.-gal. in the paint department. Watch breathing the fumes.

I believe Permatex makes a spray that dissolves gasket material and it then wipes off easily w/o any danger of damaging the gasket surface. Look in that section of a auto parts and supply store. Max
Here is the aerosol stuff:
Permatex® Low VOC Gasket Remover
I've had good luck with this stuff on solvent-based gasket sealants. It is not formulated to work on silicone-based gasket sealants.
For removing silicone-based gasket sealants, I use:
Permatex® Silicone Stripper Gasket Remover
This stuff works OK, but requires two or more applications and, even then, you'll still need to do some scraping. Also, it is now getting hard to find (Permatex may have discontinued it, I'm not sure).
