I've used water pressure to blow one apart before.

Along with the ice use the jar opener mats with the rod placed behind your knees. That way you can get a good grip and also use the power of your legs to push outwards .

Once apart rub the male part down with a soft lead pencil to stop the sticking

Brilliant!

Sometimes it is better to travel than to arrive.

Just a related "strange" fact.
Carbon fibre (depending on application) may shrink/expand in reverse to other materials! Thats why you sometimes may want to cool it rather than heat it order for it to expand...
Water hose, brilliant!

I tried this successfully on an old rod which had pieces that had been stuck together for over 6 years.

Mate of mine (widegap) rubs vaseline on the joins of his rod to stop the pieces jamming in their ferrules, haven't had to do that with my fin-nor rods yet. i do have to double check the joins from time to time while out fishing as I have had the rod tip go flying while casting once or twice which gets me spitting tacks knowing I am having to drag it through the sand and out of the wash to get it back.

A touch of wax on the male ferrule will lock them together. Also allow an easy release but only when you want it.
