I need to get these two peices unstuck. Someone must have used a very strong glue, because I cant get it apart! I cant find any good spots to jam something in to attempt to break the bond. How should I go about this? Can I use some sort if solution to dissolve it or is it stuck for good?

Maybe acetone nail polish remover? I use it when I get badly
super glued to something.

There re several solutions for taking apart glue joints. For super glue and epoxy you can use acetone which
you need to use somewhere you wont see as it will melt plastic or Super glue de-bonder which wont.
Something that works with super glue and plastic cement is putting the model in the freezer which will make
the joint brittle.
And for plastic weld tube glues use some of the liquid cement, acetone or MEK to soften the joint from the
inside then work the joint apart with a knife.
Or just take a hobby saw or knife and just saw through the joint most times the joint won't be seen after sanding and filing

Some of those solvents recommended might/will melt the plastic. It would be advisable to do a test to see if that happens.
