Had the same problem myself with a zziplex m427 id left the reducer in all winter and couldnt budge it.

Tried heat, cold, rubber strapping with 4 people on the rod all to no avail in the end the only thing that worked was to find some suitable diameter metal tube put it down the rod butt and gently tap the reducer out.

You may damage the very end of the reducer so be careful on what you use.

Ask John/r to turn you a nylon plug to slide down the inside of the butt,then follow up this plug with a heavy bar...go easy and it will come out without damage.
Same happened to me and this method worked.

Best of luck H

I,ve got a tt Sport and its a barsteward for sticking together at the spigot joint. Happened again recenty and i nearly ended up jumping up and down on the thing. But brute strength and twisting did the job.
I bought some sylicone spray from Halfords and used this and it was fine for a while untill it dried up.
I can see the use of a bar working-slide down inside of butt and tap out if safely held in a vice. The rod is hollow.
Mick. PS I would keep soaking it in wd40.
