[TowerTalk] 25G leg plug?

[N9EN@VOYAGER.NET]

I recently bought some Rohn 25 and found an easier way
to remove the hardware. I had a length of 1/2" thinwall
conduit laying around and simply pushed it in the leg (con-
taining the hardware) from the TOP. The plastic tube and
its contents promptly came out the bottom of the tower
leg. Just thought I'd pass this along.
