A dance teacher told me many eons ago, to sit on the floor with your legs open and put your chest on the floor. I used to rest my chest on thick telephone books until it didn't hurt and then I remove one and be closer to the floor, etc. After 30 days, and I counted them, I was able to get my chest completely on the floor and do a full perfect split, left, right and chinese. That was long ago, I still do it, from time to time.
Now and days, you can order a Versaflex or tristretch machine, check any martial arts store or website.
By the way, you do know it will hurt like h---, but it will be worth the time and effort.
Best wishes.

The Authority on stretching is a tape/DVD called scientifically stretching. It had me doing front splits within a month and side splits within 5 to 6 weeks without torn muscles. You can probably get it cheap on ebay or blackbelt.com. there are other videos that will work along the same basis. I could not find it on line but it is in the back of Black Belt Magazine. Below are some links for similar stretching products
hope this helps

Committed stretching. Don't be afraid of tearing or pulling a muscle or you will be defeated before even starting. It will come eventually and you will feel invincible when i does
