penetrate it over night with oil then lots and lots of heat.
should crack right off.
last resort cut a slit, or try and stretch the lip of the outer pipe. Can then weld it up after or shrink hammer it back

if you pull the back box off the hangers you can sometimes just try twisting it until the firegum seal breaks
but if soemone has clamped it up too tight then you may need to call in the hep od mr oxy and mr acetalene to free the joint off
