Ice and more ice! You need to get the ferrule really cold. Not just some frozen pees, etc. Take the time to groove out a block of ice and pack it tightly on the ferrule for 15 - 20 minutes. It should then just pop apart easily. The reason this works is because the male section is thicker wall thickness than the female section and will contract more when cooled. Trust me, I've done this a hundred times!

Thanks Brian,the ice tip worked. I froze a milk jug of water and split the block in half and wrapped it around the ferrules before going to work. After dinner with a pair of rubber gloves I was able to pull the rod apart with a second pair of hands and some elbow grease.

if your on the river, just dip in underwater for a bit, it will contract
