I'd leave whatever amount of 45 G needed to come near the top of
the concrete sticking out, and clean and prep the old concrete
(they make a bonding compound for pouring new concrete over old)
and pour new concrete over the base.
Then you could just stick the pin in the new concrete, and not have
to mess with drilling and such.
I've installed insulators in existing towers using this method.
