more info, correct you drill around tube until your thru. there is a plate on inside about 6 inches or so down the other end where it is welded to in 2 spots. You can wiggle, wiggle until it comes free or that is when i took long screwdriver and hit it through bracket around tube to break it free. After tube is removed the rest of bracket is still there minus center, so i took screwdriver and went around edges about 2-3 mm from edge so i dont hit screen inside. it is very easy job,Even a caveman can do it
