A machine shop with a drill press can bore out most of the aluminum ,
then you chip out what's left and then the wedge will fall Out. from below that is what you will Hit.
You can also take the blade out of the hacksaw frame and saw thru the aluminum vertically in a couple places
then like pie wedges the AL tube will come out.
