The problem is the clamp puts a crimp all around the pipe and locks the two together. I take a sawzall and cut the outer pipe at an angle starting from the end. Just cut through the outer pipe, but not as far in as the inner pipe is. Then with a chisel and hammer, get under the open cut end and peel it out a little. That should loosen the grip enough to get it off.
