Can't see an easy way around it because the glue might be smeared for several inches down the inside.
I would probably try and whack it from the bottom with a wooden mallet and some sort of collar that fits the glued section. What have you got to lose? Two glassfibre sections shouldn't cost too much.
Give Alex a call and ask his advice - you never know you might come to some arrangement.
