O'Day 25 Spreader Base Repair

[Oduy]

Hello all,

I recently purchased an O'Day 25. The spreader base which is attached to the mast has snapped off. The spreader base is attached to the mast via pressure tubes and a large bolt. While I have removed the nut behind the bolt I have not been able to remove the bolt or the spreader base. Can anybody share some insight as to how I can remove and replace the spreader base and bolt holding it in?

I Believe I have found the right size spreader base but can anyone confirm this for me? ( http://www.rigrite.com/Spars/Kenyon_Spars/Kenyon_Spreaders/SPR9H-Round.php)

Look like rivets... I had to drill mine out and reattached using SS rivets.

Btw, that is a gigantic mast.
