If anyone is wondering WTF is going here:
You can't remove anything from the telescope unless the lower is compressed in to the upper
The lower won't compress in to the upper here because the bearings have corroded to the point where everything is jammed up.
If you can't compress it it's pretty much in the bin time

Yep...sell on the steerer/boot (no holes amazingly) and stem and give it a funeral service before flinging it in the metal skip at the recycling center, where it will land with a satisfying noise.
However...I am stubborn and my partner is a proper engineer, so we shall see how this pans out. I've never seen anything THAT corroded :/
Next plan is to see if we can get a mini-jack/find a wider door frame somewhere, as the car jack is at an angle where it won't be able to generate much force.

I'll ask for a big hammer for my birthday then..
