NO, don't do that! no freezer!!!!

It's not a differential expansion problem, it's a softening the adhesive problem. After a good long soak, wrap both elements in rubber and grip both in the jaws of slip joint pliers; then with steady but very firm pressure, unscrew them anticlockwise. The agfa helocoid grease is a very serious adhesive, you need to be firm with it or it will win (of course you still need to be careful, but i have never damaged one). once they are apart you will have access to clean out the residue with lighter fluid... it will take a while, be thorough.
