good operating wrench is all…..some effort might be required -
I really have a problem understanding this question.
But, I will give it a try.
If you have iron pipe that is put together with teflon tape on the joints and you cannot get it apart using just pipe wrenchs or some other type of wrench then you can either take a hammer and start tapping the joint for a couple seconds and possibly spraying some W.D.30 on it also will also help loosen the joint up. Good luck on this and I hope it helps you the teflon tape should have nothing to do with your problem someone just put to much muscle into the tightening of this joint. Good luck. You can also do the same with tubing only using a little softer touch.
