I have attempted to remove my broken mast and cable.
I successfully removed all the mast above the break (which was low down)

The chrome retainer came off easily as did the black plastic bit.

The remaining bit of mast rotates but does not pull up!!!

I have a 2002 GUIII. Has anyone heard of the base being flanged?

All the threads I have read say the mast just pulls out. Mine won't.

Ideas? I will pull it all out tomorrow if that is what must be.
