Welcome to GSR.
Packing? Gasket?
On which/what?
Pull off with no damage to cyclinders?
(perhaps a photo would be good).
Plenty of folks here willing to help.
Are you refering to the head gasket on the cycliders? If so, it will need scraping. I suggest sharpening a putty knife, sharpen on one side of the edge. BUt be carefull to hold the putty knife at a shallow angle to the surface so dont gouge the surface.

I believe he means gasket.
They make gasket removers chemicals and blades. I use razor blades but make sure not to score the surface.
I've even used stainless steel scrubbers.1983 GS 1100E w/ 1230 kit, .340 lift Web Cams, Ape heavy duty valve springs, 83 1100 head with 1.5mm oversized SS intake valves, 1150 crank, Vance and Hines 1150 SuperHub, Star Racing high volume oil pump gears, 36mm carebs Dynojet stage 3 jet kit, Posplayr's SSPB, Progressive rear shocks and fork springs, Dyna 2000, Dynatek green coils and Vance & Hines 4-1 exhaust.

Surface conditioning disks in an air die grinder -- the finest grit available -- and for dog's sake, be careful!
They're the fastest, easiest way to remove gaskets, but also the fastest way to chew up irreplaceable parts forever.1983 GS850G, Cosmos Blue.
