What is the problem? If it is detaching it from the ceiling support box adapter, try rotating the pipe about 15 degrees counterclockwise and gently pull down.

Your trouble is with removing the telescoping section. I must assume that you are having a problem collapsing the section? If so then assuming you have removed the screws the only thing that could prevent the collapse is either a dent in the section or a whole bunch of creosote built up inside. If you're sure the srews are out and that the outside is dent free then brush the inside of the chimney. I removed my two year old simspon double wall section with no trouble at all. It may just be seized up so twisting while trying to collapse might break loose the funk.
Thanks guys for the help. My screws are out and there are no dents. Presumably Highbeam you are right about the cresote and sticking. I will post some pictures when I get it in. My local dealer did not have the correct chimney connector for the older Heritage so I am waiting on it from Northline. I hardly wait to have a stove that will heat all night long.
