Hi everyone 10 years later and this thread is still a rescue to many of us, astrophotography enthusiasts that fights with stuck adapters. I had my adapter ring connecting the focuser and flatenner and it got stuck inside the flattener so to go visual I had to buy a new adapter as the original could not come off the flattener. Recently decided to add a rotator so I needed to solve that adapter issue ones for ever. After reading many stories i.e temperature therapy, WD40, gloves or sneakers, what did the trick in my case were two rubber wrenches, one wrapped around the flattener and the other one around the adapter, pulled together in opposite directions and 10 sec later adapter finally got unscrewed. I share that method as it helped me. You can buy that stuff in any DIY shop or on E-bay for small budget and it does the job so never give up, there is always a solution.
