Get a hair dryer and try warming up the joint- just WARM air, hot might damage things.

From what I know, try twisting the pieces opposite. If it doesn't work right away don't force it. Take it to your band instructor or your tutor or whomever you take lessons from.

Try twisting the pieces apart from eachother! if doesnt work, take it 2 the shop! Remember 2 use the grease.
