Ya you can try ice on one half and some heat on the ferrel part to see if it loosens.
or you can just ask a guy with hands the size of mine to pull them apart

good luck

maybe a little penetrating oil, wd-40, and wait a day?

Mike knows plenty about penetrating oil should be an easy task for him

Put the ferrul behind your knees and grab the rod on each side and spread your knees apart. gives you more leverage.

I'm not too sure I would put any penetrating oil etc on a graphite blank.

For a heat source I have used a blow dryer or a wet face cloth heated in a microwave then wrapped around the ferrul.

Good luck

Mike,
Be sure you are twisting them apart, just as you would put them together.

Ice it on the way to Slips house, that ought to do it.
