Be Very Very Carefull
Maybe A Two Man Job, To Pull It Apart
Give Yourself Plenty Of Room When Doing So, Especially At The Tip End Nothing Worse Than Smacking Your Tip Into A Wall
Best Done Outside
Nothing makes a fish bigger than almost being caught -
Twist and pull
Not much else you can do, i had one stuck put some release oil down but never made must difference as it was a tight fit...1 on one end and 1 on the other your best bet.................__................................ .............................

Once You Get Them Apart Check For Any Signs Of Damage To The Joint.
Had This Happen To Myself Once
And The Joint Broke, Cracked And Splinted On A Cast And The Tip Section Went Flying Into The River. Luckly The Rod Was A Greys And Was Replaced

Did exactly the same thing myself after taking delivery of a new Ugly Stik, eventually I read a post, maybe on here, that said to stick a pair of rubber gloves on. The extra grip works wonders.

Try a little PTFE spray mate - you can get it from Halfords.
