1.Most likely you will have to sacrifice the segments and request replacements
from Feathercraft.

2. One method to try:

Saturate the joint with penetrant (WD-40, CRC, Boeshield, or equivalent)
overnight.

Tap gently on the outside of the joint with a soft-faced hammer (wood or
plastic or rubber -- not metal) while two strong and dumb buddies (Bruno and
Ahhnold)  pull and twist on the two segments.

Increase severity of tapping (put joint on a solid surface) and allow Bruno and
Ahhnold to twist and pull with more force.

If it works, feed B and A some steak and put them back on leash.

If it does not work, go back to 1.
