Snapped Super Magnum Antenna

I could take the enameled copper windings off. I was wondering how to take that broken tube out of the aluminum. Any ideas ? What type of glue can I use to attach the new phenolic tube I ordered ?

Either epoxy or E6000 may work for adhesive.
Use hole saw blades in diminishing sizes on a drill press to remove the stump. Maybe use a multi tool to cut pieces away, then grind out the residue with a spiral tool like the Dremel.
If you don't have those tools use a drill and bore a series of holes into it from the upper broken edge and then chisel it away with a wood chisel.
If that fails put peanut butter on it and borrow a rodent, maybe a beaver...

Phenolic tube finally arrived Exact fit. Now I am wondering what kind of glue strong enough I am going to use which won’t damage ( oxidize )the aluminum housing with time.

Here are som pics of the coil and base assembled. Next thing I have to do is to get the dimensions of the capacity hat. Mine is missing. If anyone can give me that info, is welcome.I read on other forum that if I miss the capacity hat, antenna would be 10” longer.
By the way, The so called “ sati-lite” tip really reduce static noise as stated by Antenna Specialist ?

The loading coil is 10 turns, (maybe 11)depending on how you count/wind it.
