The armor is probably locked in due to the undercoat. If you wipe on some old traditional GO JO hand cleaner, that will break down the undercoating. You may have to let it sit and reapply multiple times. After that, you should be able to slide the armor back enough to get the line wrench on it.

And you're going to have to remove the coating all the way around the bend to get it to retract much. I can see the inside radius of the coils is pretty much touching now.
That is CRAZY thick undercoating !
I don't know how you feel about using lacquer thinner on a rag, but it may speed up the breakdown process some.
