Cant adjust asm output tube

I have an asm g3 and I cant seem to get the output tube to budge. The problem is the skimmer is in the sump, and in the tanks current location I cannot remove the skimmer. Has anyone had the output tube lock up? Any advice?

+1 you may have to push down on the skimmer and pull up on the riser tube.
