help to remove corroded antenna mast

[bear7]

I just recently bought 95 j30t and the antenna mast was kinked not allowing it to extend or retract fully. Bought replacement mast and took antenna assembly apart, but can,t get mast out of the bottom part. I think the sleeve is corroded inside - any ideas to remove ?

so you have the motor assy out of the car, correct???

If so the only thing i can think of is to douse it in PB blaster or something..
