Spray WD40 so it runs down between buckets. After a few minutes try to work the buckets apart...they should separate. Be generous with WD 40.Helpful Reply -

would you be able to get a little water in between them? Drizzle a little down, roll it around the sides, and see if they will slip apart.Helpful Reply -

Drizzle a little cooking oil in between them and they should slide right out.Helpful Reply -

if the buckets are not use for watering if you drill small holds at the bottom or side it lets air in and stops the vaccum that keeps them together.Helpful Reply -
