[TowerTalk] Old Crushcraft 40 meter beam help

[Dave Thompson]

I got a big box of material from MFJ/Cushcraft and some hardware is missing but I can get that locally but the driven element for my old 402-CD (old version) broke off about 3 inches from the center insulator.  The insulator is formed for the 1.25" aluminum to fit inside.  The broken piece is stuck and won't budge.  Any ideas on how to get it out so I can install the new aluminum?

Don't know if MFJ/Cushcraft still has the insulator so I may be looking for a broken 402-CD that had a good insulator.
