old bail lids of Ball jars difficult to open

I have a couple of old Ball jars that have the metal bail with the rubber gasket. I am finding it very difficult to open the jars. Is there some trick to this? It seems as though I'm going to damage the ridge on top of the glass lid before the metal bail is pulled down into the open position.

I am not using these jars for canning. I just like the look of them and use them for storing dry goods.
