I have a 14 year old Blazeking that went south on me and have a Regency that I want to replace it with. How the heck do I get the bi-wall pipe apart without pulling the sawzall out of its case?
 
Depends on the brand of pipe. A large hammer might suffice.

LOL!! So true.
 
If you've got Simpson DuraVent, you may be able to separate the sections using strap wrenches.
I've had some success using a leather belt as a strap wrench in a pinch, but you'll probably need another pair of hands to help...
The 4" inner (exhaust) sections of the co-linear pipe tend to bond themselves together & disassembly becomes almost impossible
without mechanical advantage...
