Any ideas?

Easy as can be with a slide hammer and a 3 prong hook adapter. Borrow
what you need from your favorite auto shop or look over the adapters
at a tool rental place that has the slide hammer. Mechanics have used
slide hammers for years to pull axles and brake drums. To see what the
tool looks like, check out the Matco or SnapOn web sites. OTC is
another company that makes them.
If this seems like too much trouble, simply drill a series of
overlapping holes in the Fernco rubber and slice the metal cylinder
with your SawzAll and in due time it will give up. The rubber needs a
very sharp drill to be effective.

Be careful with the slide hammer that you dont pull something apart
you dont want to. The next joint may give way first!!!
