Your answer can be found by Swanky's suggestion found on this thread. His suggestion does work, but just remember you have to have some patience. He suggests trying 409 or other lubricant to help separate the pieces, but I have used Pam Non-stick Spray with great success.

I have approximately 27 cocktail shakers and have had to "undo" about 5 of them throughout the years. Also, make sure that there are absolutely no hairline cracks at all on your glass shaker or else you could be in for a surprise "break" (and possibly a very bad cut). I use laytex gloves so that I have a really good hold of both the glass and the metal top. When I first started collecting cocktail shakers, I broke a "fairly common" one by not using laytex gloves and when the glass shaker and the metal top separated I had a good hold of the metal top but the glass shaker took a tumble in the sink. (That Pam was really slippery!)

Good luck.
