I score each tube while the condenser is still in one piece. Then I take a small metal bar, the same length as the condenser, and place it between 2 consecutive pipes. With a framing hammer, i strike the metal bar. This collapses the aluminum between the 2 pipes, simultaneously pulling the aluminum away from the areas that I previously scored which in turn, allows me to pull the pipes right out of the open fins. Not the best solution, but it's a start.
