Mine did this when i changed them to adjustable ones. I just bollocked a load of wd40 in there went for a fag whilst it was soaking in then got a big pair of mole grips on it and twisted it back and forth with abit more wd40 thrown in untill it was free.

A very common problem, a few choices, if careful with a angle grinder grind a channel in the tube, not all the way through obviously, then insert a nicely sharpened cold chisel in the channel and whack, this will split the tube open, then mole grips to pull it off is the quickest way to do it.
