If we now are talking "terminal suggestions"?

How about bonding some ears to the tube and rigging a 4ton hydraulic jack to the pipe. Then apply pressure?

If that is not enough. Anchor pipe to a solid object with chain (big oak or similiar). Secure tube to towing hitch on a heavy 4wd vehicle and apply pressure?
When the above does not work. Build speed and "rip" the tube off.. Make sure to film as it might be a Kodak moment.

What would happen with the tube afterwards if the now carbon reinforced pipe was heated to to 80-100degC to soften the epoxy. Try to pull the tube off while the epoxy is "soft"?


I went through the same story with a 30cm tube once. Ended up cutting the tube and making MK2.
