Thanks for the info!

Thats about the only way I could see to do it, but wanted to get some
"war stories" if possible. My tube looks like aluminum, so it should be
soft too.

Yeah, should be soft, even if it were thin steel, just go easy, once
you get it folding toward the center, it loosens up. It's just glued in
with epoxy. Also, if yours is corroded pretty good, that's easier.
