Thanks for the quick responses. No, I have taken apart the two pieces of the shaft and slide them back and forth about a hundred times. I even made this contraption to pull the two ends apart initially (after I used the crank for the hoses) since they were stuck like so many others. I also had to add some heat with a torch, thus the burn marks on the 2x6...
Finally figured out the problem... inside, beyond where it had been stuck at for the last 11 years was rusted, not allowing the male part to go into the female part fully (keep mind out of gutter). After jamming it in about 40 more times, then using my contraption to pull it apart again and again, breaking down all the rust and contaminants, I was able to get it to collapse all the way. I'm repainting it now... I'll throw some anti-seize in it, mount it and finally finish video #17!!!
