Detaching Guarneri Homage columns from marble base

I need to pack my Guarneri Homage and run into a problem.

The speakers come in 3 boxes:

One for the speakers themselves.

One for the marble stands.

One for the columns.

I have all 3 original boxes.

Here's the problem: I loosened and removed the 3 bolts at the bottom of the marble base hoping it would loosen the column, but I can't find an easy, low-force way, to pry the column free from the stand.

Is there a trick to detaching the base from the column. I don't want to apply unnecessary force, but it feels like they are glued together - which is a problem because unless I take them apart I can't fit them in the boxes.

Any help would be greatly appreciated - there are no instructions in the manuals on how to do so.

Thanks!

As1963, that's a very strange problem. I agree with Jlind, you should contact SF for there thoughts on this. Please post as to their suggestions.
One thought I had was to use a rubber mallet and gently strike the columns at the metal area on the bottom of the stands where they contact the marble.
Nonetheless, I would talk to SF ( or maybe Sumiko if you are in the US) first before trying that.
