Done it many times--not a problem. Just a few minutes work. You figured it out. Need to remove the set screw and let the little balls fall out the hole before you can pull the two halves apart. It is

John, This sounds interesting, but I am dense. If you have a flat sheet of this material and drill it to let the mast pass through, what "sits" on the plastic to bear the mast weight? Thanks, Chuck,
