First, using a 1" chisel, I break the glue joint from front to back, by hitting the chisel right where the slat and the rim meet. The, I use a 1/4" chisel and start at the back and gently tap the rail out. You might need to use the 1" chisel several times to break that glue joint. There is another way I have heard about, although I have never done it. You can plane off the slat even with the side of the case, and then install a brass or nickel slide, available at the supply houses.
