A blow dryer with the backside (with holes) up to let out the moisture might just work.

Otherwise you can take them apart, but it's not an easy task.
You have to carefully uncrimp the center band and separate the halves.

It could be worse. You could've had a Spider in there, with web, that stopped the needle from passing 60KPH like mine:
