I know Summit has a tool (EZ pull) that you can clamp on the exhaust to separate pieces...I think it's around $50

I was fortunate enough to have my seperate on its own.. Of course that was the reason for me having to pull it. As previously stated some liquid wrech, a rubber mallet and possibly a 2x4 to keep from denting the exhaust seems to work.

O, and for whatever you're putting back on, use some Ultra Copper RTV at the junctions of your exhaust...next time things will come apart much easier
