    ok well i ended up making a tool to remove it ... not quite like the square tube... i diddnt have any... i used a piece of all-thread 3 nuts and 3 washers.. i used my bench grinder to cut notches into the largest washer at a 45 deg angle so it would seat better.... it locked right in and came out... i almost diddnt continue untill i saw the bottom screw was seeping from having twisted it trying to get it out oh well one more copper washer down.

    the arrangement on the all-thread is (nut)(nut)(sm washer)(lgwasher)(smwasher)(nut)

    the two tops nuts are forced agains each other to bind and lock the assembly. (ill post picts later)
