I don't know if Jake Broderson is still on the list or will answer up but he was a huge fan of Spartite. While showing me his installation I asked about removing the mast and he said that Spartite manufacturer suggests that the mast can be "slipped" out. He stated that he did not have that much luck and needed to unbolt the collar and then have the collar lift off with the mast.
